Rhosneigr railway station serves the village of Rhosneigr on the Isle of Anglesey, off the coast of north Wales. The unstaffed station is managed by Transport for Wales Rail, who also operate all trains that serve it.

History

The station was opened in May 1907,[1] much later than the other Anglesey stations on the North Wales Coast Line. It was closed between 1 January 1917 and 1 February 1919[1] as an economy measure during World War I.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Unlike the other stations it has neither sidings or a goods yard. The station buildings were originally made of wood but in the early 1950s they were replaced by stone structures.[2] Of these, the structure on platform one remains whilst the one on platform two has been replaced by a metal and plastic bus stop-style shelter. The station master's house still stands but is a private dwelling.[3]

Facilities

There are no ticketing facilities of any kind here, so tickets must be bought prior to travel or on the train. The station does though have digital CIS displays to provide train running information, along with a pay phone and timetable poster boards. Although there is step-free access to each side, the paths to each platform are steep and not made up, so are unsuitable for wheelchair users.[4]

Services

Script error: No such module "Unsubst". There is a roughly two-hourly weekday service in each direction from the station (with some extra morning and evening trains), plus a limited Sunday service (six to Holyhead, seven toward Chester). Most eastbound trains run to Wrexham General, Shrewsbury and Birmingham International, although a few services run to either Crewe or Cardiff.[5] Trains stop on request.
