Trefnant railway station served the village of Trefnant in North Wales.

History

It opened in 1858[1] and closed for passengers in 1955 and freight in 1957.

The station platform and the siding area was still visible until the Llys Teg housing association estate was built around 1990.

There was a railway bridge at the top of "Hafod" on the A541 in the village which is now demolished but is still visible as a hump in the road.
