Bodorgan railway station serves the hamlet of Bodorgan and the village of Bethel on the Isle of Anglesey,Wales. [2] [3] The stop is an unmanned halt,and serves as a request stop for Chester and Holyhead-bound local trains along the North Wales coast.
The station,which was originally to be called Trefdraeth,was opened in October 1849 [4] [5] and had a small signal box,a small goods yard and a water tower. The goods yard closed in December 1964 but the stationmaster's house remains (now in private use). [6] There are stone-built shelters on both platforms.
At around 05:00 am on 8 February 2011 an unnamed man was hit by a Holyhead-bound train near the station and died at the scene. [7]
The station has the same range of amenities as others on this part of the line (CIS screens,timetable poster boards and a payphone). No ticketing facilities are available however,so these must be purchased in advance or on the train. Level access is available to both platforms,though platform 2 is only reachable by a barrow crossing and so care is advised when using it. [8]
