Pont-y-Pant railway station

Pont-y-Pant railway station is a single platform passenger station in the Lledr Valley, Wales, on the Conwy Valley line from Llandudno Junction to Blaenau Ffestiniog, which is operated by Transport for Wales Rail.

[1] The station was the loading point for slate from the Rhiw-goch quarry on the opposite side of the valley.

The slate was brought across the river by carts which crossed a substantially built bridge.

There is no local village but the station serves a number of nearby isolated properties, and is also useful to walkers, owing to its proximity to a surviving section of the Sarn Helen Roman road.

[6] From 16 March 2019 however, the service was suspended and replaced by buses due to major flood damage in the Llanrwst area caused by Storm Gareth.
