Proposal

Due to Trawsfynydd Station itself and all of the line between Trawsfynydd Lake Halt and Trawsfynydd being in private hands the Trust has no plans to extend the current limits at Trawsfynydd Lake Halt to Trawsfynydd.

Instead the Trust will try and keep the memory of the line beyond Trawsfynydd alive through this website and any other methods it can.

Trawsfynydd in 1911. An eclectic mix of Great Wester 6 wheel stock leaves the up platform for Bala whilst an engine uses the down line to shunt the yard. On the right workmen have started laying the new platform surface

The station in 1966. Almost all infrastructure is still intact apart from the removal of all the watering facilities
