When the line was doubled in 1872,[2] a second platform was constructed with a simple waiting shelter on it, made of similar materials to the main building. The two 320ft platforms were connected by a level crossing. To the west was a small siding with a ramp. The station closed to passengers on 5 July 1937 when the platform and station buildings were demolished. Goods traffic continued to use it until 6 July 1964.[3] On 13 November 1911 the royal train stopped at the station and its passengers embarked in order to travel to Caernarfon Castle so that the future Edward VIII could be Investitured.[4] For the event additional temporary wooden buildings were erected and a canopy put up. The royal train stopped near the station again on 1 July 1969 for the investiture of Prince Charles.[5] By this time, as the station was closed and demolished a temporary platform and buildings were erected. The site of the station was partly covered following the improvement and widening of the A487. However the station master's house still stands. {{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line|previous=Port Dinorwic|next=Caernarvon|route=Bangor and Carnarvon Railway|col=aaaaaa}}{{end box}}References1. ^Jones, Mark: Lost Railways of North Wales, page 152.
