Red Wharf Bay and Benllech railway station was the terminus station of the Red Wharf Bay branch line which ran between Holland Arms and Benllech, off the Anglesey Central Railway. The original plan had been to build the station 0.1 miles from Red Wharf Bay but the final plans saw it built half a mile south of nearby Benllech.[1]
Opened in 1909 the station was one of, if not the, biggest on the line. It had a waiting room, ticket office, toilets and the longest platform on the line at 260ft (although this was later shortened). The goods yard to the east of the platform contained three sidings and a loop.[2] The approach to the station, from the south, was the site of the only signal on the line. Soon after the completion of the line a local businessman opened up a limestone quarry with the intention of transporting the produce via the new station.
The station was closed in 1930 and the track taken up in 1953. Most of the buildings were demolished at around that time, although the main station building itself still exists.[3]
