Where once the railway station stood

This is the view from Bont Fawr in Dolgellau. The straightness of the bypass is due to it following the track of the old railway, and the station stood just below this bridge. The line closed in 1964 I think.

My first ever visit to (through) the town on an A level Geography field trip in the late 70's was when the bypass was being built. It certainly has relieved the town of huge congestion especially on summer Saturdays, but it is a shame I can't catch a train just down the road from home!
