Llanfairpwll

Overview

Llanfairpwll Station serves the village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, on Anglesey, and was opened in 1848. The area is famous for its full name of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, one of the longest place names in the world. Many people don’t know that this was a Victorian construct designed for tourists. It has no historical basis and it is made up of names from the local area, including nearby churches.

The station has suffered two major fires over the years and, as a result, was completely rebuilt in the winter of 1865. Handling 21 thousand passengers annually, although the 2 platforms have been replaced, the footbridge and ticket office have survived from 1865.
