This should not be confused with Garneddwen Station on the narrow-gauge Corris Railway.
The station had two short staggered platforms with a passing loop and signal box. The station could only be accessed by a path from the Bala to Dolgellau road. Both platforms are still extant on farmland and can be seen from the A494.
