Arthog railway station in Gwynedd, Wales, was a station on the Ruabon to Barmouth line. It closed to passengers on 18 January 1965.

History

The station was built by the Cambrian Railway, which joined the Great Western Railway. The line then passed on to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, and was closed by the British Railways Board.

The site today

The former trackbed is now the Llwybr Mawddach (or "Mawddach Trail"), but little trace remains of the station except for the access road running from the A493 to the station site.
