Aberangell railway station was a railway station on the Cambrian Railway branch which ran from Cemmaes Road to Dinas Mawddy in the Welsh county of Merionethshire. The station was opened by the Mawddwy Railway then closed by that company for ten years in the early 20th century. The station was the contact point between the branch and the Hendre-Ddu Tramway.

History

The station was incorporated, as part of the Cambrian Railway, into the Great Western Railway during the Grouping of 1923, closing eight years later.

The site today

A new road runs through the station site.
