==History==
The line was first opened in 1867, however it was closed to passenger traffic in 1901, and closed to all goods traffic in 1908. The Aberangell line was reopened on 31 July July 1911 as a [[light railway]] system, as a result of the support of several local councils.<ref name="h1">{{cite web|title=Discussed Station: Aberangell|url=http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/a/aberangell/|publisher=Discussed Railway Stations|accessdate=10 April 2016}}</ref> The station was incorporated, as part of the Cambrian Railways, into the Great Western Railway during the [[Railways Act 1921|Grouping]] of 1923, thus closing the Aberangell line to passenger services in 1931, although the line continued to remain open for freight traffic until the 1950s.<ref name=h1/>
==Route==
The line ran through several remote villages in [[Merionethshire]] which included the Upper Dovey Valley and [[Dinas Mawddwy]], however the station was included {{convert|0.5|mi}} away from the centre of the village due to the terrain making it impossible to build there.<ref name=h1/><ref name="h2">{{cite web|title=Aberangell railway station|url=http://america.pink/aberangell-railway-station_226031.html|publisher=America Pink|accessdate=10 April 2016}}</ref>
