Bala railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bala railway station was a railway station in Wales. It officially closed on 18 January 1965, some four years after the rest of the Bala Ffestiniog Line, having been retained as a branch line from Bala Junction.
The station's goods shed was an unusual feature. A local landowner objected to the construction of the line, so in order to appease him the goods shed was built to resemble a castle, with mock battlements and turrets.
The station was subsequently demolished and a fire station built on the site. The goods yard is now in light industrial use.
