The original water tower from Old WHR days, on the Down side of the station, has been restored and is occasionally used for small locomotives.

Completion has been delayed, due to financial reasons and in the meantime a temporary booking office is in front of the foundations.

Plans to reopen the station in Beddgelert created local opposition over a number of matters: it was to be far too big; it would intrude on the landscape; it would increase traffic in the village and make parking difficult.

Restrictions were placed upon the company by the National Park Authority, but on 23 July 2008, the SNPA was compelled, on appeal, to revoke a planning condition which would have limited sales at the station to tickets and railway souvenirs only.

Since that time, it has served as a normal passing station, as the line has been extended, firstly to a temporary halt at Hafod y Llyn,[nb 1] [2] then on 22 May 2010, to Pont Croesor.
