Brynkir railway station

Brynkir railway station was opened by the Carnarvonshire Railway on the western edge of the village of Bryncir, Gwynedd, Wales.The station was not heavily used, but it had two platforms and remained open until the line closed because it was a crossing place where the otherwise single track route became twin track for a short distance, it also had facilities for locomotives to replenish their water tanks.An accident involving passengers occurred at the station on 6 September 1866, before formal opening.The line and station closed on 7 December 1964 as recommended in the Beeching Report.
