History
Prior to nationalisation the station was a train crossing station and was known as Tal-y-Cafn and Eglwysbach and publicised as the station for Bodnant Garden, which is in the parish of Eglwysbach and a lengthy up-hill walk.
The station was renamed from Tal-y-Cafn & Eglwysbach to Tal-y-Cafn on 6 May 1974, although a name board on the disused platform still refers to Eglwysbach.
Facilities
The station buildings, mostly in private occupation, are well maintained. The station is manned owing to the need for crossing gates on the bridge road.
Services
Six trains call in each direction Mon-Sat, with three departures each way on Sundays from the beginning of the summer timetable in May until early September.
