Cwm Prysor railway station

Cwm Prysor railway station

Cwm Prysor railway station was a railway station on the Great Western Railway's Bala Ffestiniog Line in Wales. It closed to passenger services on 2 January 1960 and freight services on 27 January 1961.

The station building is now in use as a private residence.

The Stationmistress that used to run Cwm Prysor Station lived at Trawsfynydd and she had to cycle nearly 5 miles each day to Cwm Prysor Station (or Cwm Prysor Halt as it was then known).

The area is very high and the terrain is open and wide, so it must have been rather harsh going during the rough winter season up there!!!

The Station House is 1200 feet above sea level.
