Caernarfon railway station (L&NWR)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caernarfon was a railway station in Caernarfon, Gwynedd. It was located on the site of the current Morrisons store.
When built in 1854 it was the terminus of the Bangor and Caernarvon Railway and later an end on junction with the Carnarvonshire Railway and the Carnarvon and Llanberis Railway. All three companies were operated by and absorbed into the London and North Western Railway by 1871. The route of the line southwards passed through a tunnel under central Caernarfon that was converted in 1995 for road traffic. The junction for Llanberis was on the outskirts of Caernarfon. The terminus of the Welsh Highland Railway is on the trackbed of the Carnarvonshire Railway just south of the tunnel on St Helen's Road beneath the high retaining walls of Segontium Terrace.
