From the Wikipedia article

Brynglas railway station (also known as Bryn-glas railway station) is a request stop on the Talyllyn Railway, serving the hamlet of Pandy near Bryn-crug, in Gwynedd, Mid-Wales. It is 3.17 miles (5.10 km) from Tywyn Wharf. A station building and platform are provided on the north side of the track, as the railway's carriages have been modified to have doors only on this side for safety reasons. The station building is a Grade II listed structure. The name 'Brynglas' was taken from a local farm, and means 'Blue hill'. There are level crossings on both sides of the station: one to the east, for a farm track, and on to the west, for the public road to Pandy. The road crossing was originally a brick arch bridge, which now serves as a cattle creep. There is also a bridge over the Afon Cwm-Pandy. The station was originally situated between the two bridges, but the platform has since been extended in both directions such that it now stretches between both level crossings. The river bridge was rebuilt to carry the extended platform.

Background

Architecture

The station was opened in July 1872 (when it first appeared in Bradshaw's Guide), between the two bridges. The station is accessed off the public road, the disused northern arch being used to cross the cattle creep (former road bridge). A station building and platform, both built out of slate-blocks, being provided for waiting passengers. The platform surface is slate chippings, edged with slate slabs.
