The station is unstaffed and has no ticketing provision,so all tickets must be purchased before travel or on the train. It has been fitted with a Customer Information display,payphone and customer help point in addition to the standard timetable poster board and waiting shelter. The platform is low,which has caused access issues for passengers in the past (a set of wooden steps was required to join or alight from modern stock) [3] but an easy access ramp has since been fitted to help passengers when joining or leaving trains. [4] A disused platform is still visible opposite the active one,as a passing loop was located here until the early 1960s.
At Llangunllo nearby are the Olgliniau Cynllo,the knee prints of St Cynllo at prayer. [5] These are examples of a petrosomatoglyph. Official Llangunllo Website:Official Llangunllo Website
