History
The railway line between Machynlleth and Pwllheli was authorised to be built by the Aberystwith and Welsh Coast Railway (A&WCR) on 22 July 1861.[1] During construction, the A&WCR amalgamated with the Cambrian Railways,[2] this being authorised on 5 July 1865 and effective from 5 August 1866.[3] The section between Barmouth and Afon Wen opened on 2 September 1867,[4] and Penrhyndeudraeth station opened the same day.[5]
In 2016, The Welsh Government funded the installation of a reinforced glass fibre Harrington Hump on the platform to improve access for wheelchair and pushchair users onto and off trains.[6]
