Tywyn railway station serves the town of Tywyn in Gwynedd, Wales. The station is on the Cambrian Coast Railway with passenger services to Barmouth, Harlech, Porthmadog, Pwllheli, Aberdovey, Machynlleth and Shrewsbury. The line was built by the Aberystwyth and Welsh Coast Railway in 1863 and became incorporated in the Cambrian Railways in 1867.
Unlike most stations on the Cambrian Line, Tywyn has retained two platforms and a passing loop. The station however is unmanned and the original station buildings remained derelict from 1980's until the mid 2000's when they were refurbished as offices.
The world famous Talyllyn Railway runs from Tywyn to Abergynolwyn and Nant Gwernol. These services operate from Tywyn Wharf station, which is approximately 300m southwards down the road running parallel to the Cambrian line.
