Rhostryfan Station was the intermediate station on the Bryngwyn Branch of the North Wales Narrow Gauge Railways (NWNGR) and its successor the Welsh Highland Railway (WHR). At some time since closure, the station itself has been demolished.[1]
Although the line has been purchased by the Festiniog Railway Company, the branch to Bryngwyn there are no immediate plans to reopen the railway. In 2011 the trackbed of the line became a public footpath, although with the condition that this will not impede any reopening of the branch line in the future.[1]
