History

The railway line between Machynlleth and Pwllheli was authorised to be built by the Aberystwyth and Welsh Coast Railway (A&WCR) on 22 July 1861. During construction, the A&WCR amalgamated with the Cambrian Railways, this being authorised on 5 July 1865 and effective from 5 August 1866. The section between Barmouth and Afon Wen opened on 2 September 1867, and Penrhyndeudraeth station opened the same day.

Services

Trains call here every two hours (approximately) on weekdays. Most southbound trains continue beyond Shrewsbury to Birmingham New Street and Birmingham International. 3 trains each way call in the summer on Sundays, but just one each way in winter.
