Aberdovey railway station (Welsh: Aberdyfi) serves the seaside resort of Aberdovey in Gwynedd, Wales. The station is on the Cambrian Coast Railway with passenger services every 2 hours (weekday daytimes) calling at all stations between Machynlleth and Pwllheli, including Tywyn, Barmouth, Harlech and Porthmadog. Passengers can connect at Machynlleth for trains to Aberystwyth or Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and Birmingham New Street.

Originally a two platform station with a short branch line (only a few hundred yards long) to Aberdovey Harbour, the station is now a single platform, unstaffed halt. The original station building is in use as a private residence.

[edit] History

Opened by the Aberystwyth and Welsh Coast Railway, then run by the Cambrian Railway, it became part of the Great Western Railway. The line then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. When Sectorisation was introduced, the station was served by Regional Railways.
