It reopened in its eventual form in 1867 and closed in December 1964. The station served as the junction station{{sfn|Kneale|1980|loc=Plates 130 & 131}} for the short branch to {{rws|Nantlle}} which was overlain in 1872 on part of the former Nantlle Railway route, but its main purpose was for traffic on the former Carnarvonshire Railway line from {{rws|Caernarvon}} to {{rws|Afon Wen}} and beyond.{{sfn|Rear|2012|pp=41-46}} When the line and station were first opened in 1867 a locomotive was hired from the Cambrian Railways. A Cambrian driver, who had never been over the line before, was retained to drive the first directors' inspection special from {{rws|Afon Wen}} to {{rws|Carnarvon (Pant)}}. On the return journey the loco ran short of coal and ran out of steam at Penygroes. There was some peat in a nearby field, which the crew dug and the directors carried to the engine enabling steam to be raised.{{sfn|Dunn|September 1958|pp=595-6}} The passenger service along the Nantlle Branch was withdrawn in 1932, though excursions continued until 1939. The station and line closed on 7 December 1964 as recommended in the Beeching Report. {{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line|next=Pant Glas Line and Station closed |previous=Groeslon Line and Station closed |route=Carnarvonshire Railway|col={{LNWR colour}} }}{{rail line |previous= |next=Nantlle Line and Station closed| |route=Carnarvonshire Railway Nantlle Branch |col={{LNWR colour}} }}{{s-end}} References1. ^The station, via Disused Stations Sources
