Abertafol railway station was a halt located on the north shore of the Dyfi estuary in the old Welsh county of Merionethshire (south Gwynedd).

History

Opened by the Great Western Railway on 18 March 1935 and originally named Abertafol Halt, the station passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was renamed Abertafol on 6 May 1968. It was officially closed by the British Railways Board on 30 September 1985, the last train having run on 14 May 1984.[1]

The site today

Trains on the Cambrian Line pass the site of the former halt. There are no remains to be seen today.
