Bangor
Bangor on the North Wales Coast Line, opened 1st May 1848 for the Chester & Holyhead Railway, looking east on 6th April 2019. This was the junction for the line via Caernarfon to Afon Wen where it connected with the Cambrian Coast Line. The line south of Caernarfon to Afon Wen was closed in 1964 but passenger services between Bangor and Caernarfon continued until 1970. Some cynics said that this only stayed open after 1964 to cope with crowds for the investiture of the Prince of Wales at Caernarfon Castle in 1969. After that, local people who'd used the line perhaps felt they didn't matter.
