HistoryThe original plan had been to build the station 0.1 mile from Red Wharf Bay, but the final plans saw it built half a mile south of nearby Benllech.[2] Opened in 1909, the station had a waiting room, ticket office, toilets and the longest platform on the line, at {{convert|260|ft|m}} (although this was later shortened). The goods yard to the east of the platform contained three sidings and a loop.[3] The approach to the station, from the south, was the site of the only signal on the line. Soon after the completion of the line a local businessman opened up a limestone quarry with the intention of transporting the produce via the new station. The station was closed in 1930 and the track taken up in 1953. Most of the buildings were demolished at around that time, although the main station building itself still exists.[4] There is now nothing existing on the site other than a few artefacts from the original demolition. The site was used as a storage facility for a number of years, but is now a wood yard. {{Historical Rail Start}}{{rail line|previous=Llanbedrgoch|next=Terminus|route=Red Wharf Bay Branch|col=aaaaaa}}{{end box}}References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.lnwrs.org.uk/BygoneLines/RedWharfBay.php|title=Bygone Lines: the Red Wharf Bay Branch|work=London and North Western Railway Society|accessdate=25 March 2017}} 2. ^Jones, Geraint: Anglesey Railways, page 76.
