Porthmadog railway station serves the town of Porthmadog on the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd, Wales. The station is on the Cambrian Coast Railway with passenger services to Pwllheli, Harlech, Barmouth, Machynlleth, Shrewsbury and Birmingham. DisambiguationConsidering the size of the town, Porthmadog has, and has had, a number of stations, all containing either "Porthmadog", or the earlier spelling "Portmadoc" in their name.
Additionally there were two interim stations either side of, what is now, the Network Rail / Welsh Highland Railway {{lang|cy|Cae Pawb}} crossing. These were referred to as:
with station (2) taking the title Portmadoc Old during the period these existed.[2] ServicesUntil the line between Bangor and Afonwen closed in 1964 there was a through service in the summer to and from London Euston via Crewe, Chester, Llandudno Junction and Caernarvon; the Pwllheli portion was detached at Afonwen and the forward coaches proceeded to Portmadoc (the spellings are those used at the time). There was also a summer service between London Paddington and Pwllheli, via Birmingham Snow Hill, Shrewsbury and Machynlleth. Nowadays trains call at Porthmadog roughly once every two hours Monday - Saturday, with a solitary train stopping in each direction on Sundays during the winter and two additional services each way in the summer (May - mid-September). During the daytime, trains run through to/from {{rws|Shrewsbury}} and {{rws|Birmingham International}} (joining or splitting from a portion to/from {{rws|Aberystwyth}}), but in the evening they start/terminate at {{rws|Machynlleth}}.[3] From November 2013 until September 2014, main line services were suspended due to structural problems with the Pont Briwet viaduct near {{rws|Llandecwyn}}.[4] Network Rail and Gwynedd County Council were carrying out work to build a £20 million replacement for the current bridge a few metres downstream, but in doing so had caused the old one to sink and thus made it unsafe for both rail & road traffic. A replacement bus service operated during the railway's closure. {{s-rail-start|noclear=yes}}{{s-rail|title=National Rail}}{{rail line |next=Minffordd |route=Transport for WalesPwllheli - Machynlleth/Birmingham International |previous=Criccieth|col={{KAW colour}} |lightcol={{CV colour|Cambrian}} }}{{Historical Rail Insert}}{{rail line |next = Minffordd Line and station open |previous = Black Rock Halt Line open, station closed |route = Aberystwyth and Welsh Coast Railway Cambrian Railways |col = {{GWR colour}} |lightcol={{GWR light}} }}{{heritage rail insert}}{{s-text|text=Connection with Porthmadog (WHHR) on the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway}}{{s-text|text=Connection with Porthmadog Harbour on the Ffestiniog Railway and Welsh Highland Railway}}{{s-end}} References1. ^Miniature Railway terminus 2. ^{{Boyd-FR1}} 3. ^{{NRtimes|May 2016|76}} 4. ^Bridge fiasco could close Porthmadog line until 2015 {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140118075916/http://www.railwaymagazine.co.uk/news/bridge-fiasco-could-close-porthmadog-line-until-2015 |date=18 January 2014 }} Milner, Chris Railway Magazine 1-01-2014; Retrieved 2013-01-17 Sources
