Bodorgan sported one of Francis Thompson's cottage style buildings. It is a listed building, but this didnt stop BR removing the roof ! Heritage liveried Met-Camm unit No. 101685 pulls in with the 15.25 Holyhead-Llandudno Junction local on 5th August 1995. They were eventually osold for a £1.00 and some work on the roof is visible...
Intercity liveried 37420 Scottish Hosteller speeding through with the 14.24 Crewe-Holyhead on 5th August 1995. Visible on the wall is the maroon painted slate tablet with engraved name, a style used on many of the original C&H stations...
The station was purchased and the buyer put a roof on it before setting to work restoring all the internal floors and rooms to make a home for his family. This is how it looked on 30th August 1997 during restoration, the owner having also repainted the lamp posts in steam-era London Midland colours. 37429 Eisteddfod Genedlaethal was passing with the13.54 Holyhead-Crewe. I often used my ladders for a different viewpoint...
