Aber railway station (Gwynedd)

Aber railway station was a railway station on the North Wales Coast Line in the Welsh county of Gwynedd. Although trains still pass on the main line, the station closed in 1960. A signal box on the site remained in use until the installation of colour light signalling.

History
The station was opened by the Chester and Holyhead Railway on 1 May 1848 when it opened its line as far as Bangor.

The station had two platforms on either side of a double track line. Facilities for goods included cattle pens and a siding for loading slate from the adjacent writing slate manufactory.

The station was host to a LMS caravan from 1934 to 1938 followed by four caravans in 1939. A camping coach was also positioned at the Aber station by the London Midland Region from 1954 to 1959.

The station was closed by the British Transport Commission on 12 September 1960.
