Ceint railway station was situated on the Red Wharf Bay branch line between Holland Arms railway station and Benllech, the first station after the line branched from the main Anglesey Central Railway. Opening in 1908 it was a very simple station with only one short (60ft) platform on the Up (south-east) side and a wooden waiting hut. It was an unstaffed request stop with no goods yard or sidings.[1] A look at any modern or contemporary Ordnance Survey map will show that this, along with the station following it Rhyd-y-Saint are perhaps two of the most remote on the island.

The station closed in 1930, as did the line itself to passenger trains, and the station building removed. The tracks themselves were taken up in 1953 but the platform itself is still visible from the roadbridge close by.[2]
