Nantlle Railway
Track gauge 3ft. 6in.; 1066.8mm
ACD - Mon 12/06/1865 - CPLGB p24; RPSGB.
Line closed to passengers to facilitate the rebuilding and conversion to standard gauge. Most of the route between Carnarvon (Castle) and Dinas Junction was on new formation. Conversely, most of the formation south of Dinas Junction to Nantlle was incorporated into the rebuilt railway. Rather than attempt to list these sections permanently closed by name, the details will be presented on a map which will be produced in the fullness of time.
