Pant Glas was a railway station opened by the LNWR in Pant Glas, Gwynedd, Wales, serving a sparsely populated rural area. Custom was never heavy, leading to goods services being withdrawn in 1952 and the station being closed in 1957,[6] though traffic continued to pass through until the line closed on 7 December 1964 as recommended in the Beeching Report.
