This southerly terminus of the Welsh Highland Railway (Porthmadog) is located over the road from the Network Rail station. The WHR station was opened on 1st August 1980 and trains operated over the short line to Pen-y-mount.
The station is also the main administrative base for the WHR Ltd
In an attempt to distinguish the various Portmadoc/Porthmadog stations, both open and closed, this station has sometimes been referred to as Tremadog Road, a reference to its postal address. However, this has never been adopted by the WHR(P) as it does not find favour with the working members.
