Editing Trawsfynydd (section)

==Transport==
===Railways===
Trawsfynydd used to be served by a section of the [[Great Western Railway]] branch line, which ran from [[Bala Ffestiniog Line|Bala to Blaenau Ffestiniog]]. To the north of the station, the army built its own station to serve the large camp nearby.([http://www.heneb.co.uk/Trawsfynyddhlc/trawsengareas/traws20.html camp detail]) Today [[Trawsfynydd railway station]] is a private home. ([http://www.penmorfa.com/Conwy/seven.htm pictures]). The line closed to all traffic in 1961, and the trackbed at the Bala end was subsequently severed by the [[Llyn Celyn]] reservoir, but the section between Blaenau and Trawsfynydd Power Station reopened in 1964 for [[nuclear flask]] traffic. Access from the Bala end being no longer possible, a new section of track – the so-called "Trawsfynydd Link" – was constructed to link the previously separate ex-GWR and ex-[[London and North Western Railway|LNWR]] stations in Blaenau Ffestiniog. It finally closed in 1998, although the track remains in situ.

===Road===
In the late 18th and early 19th centuries a [[Turnpike trust|turnpike]] was built that ran through the village. With the advent of motor transport, this became the [[A470 road|A470]] in the 1920s. Between 1963 and 1965, a bypass was built around the village for through traffic.
