A small halt with a siding, often used for the transfer of milk churns between here and Portmadoc.

Nowadays, this location is generally known as Gatws Bach, after the adjacent lodge/gatehouse seen in this external photo

Optimistically designated 'Ynysfor, for Llanfrothen' in FR-lease days (1934 - 1936) there was a siding, lengthened from the Croesor Tramway original, and a waiting room on opposite sides of the crossing. The road after the crossing LC 54.02, (Chainage 29,400, Construction No. LC 110) and to the east has been abandoned.

Access is now via LC 54.74, (TWA Level crossing No. 3, Chainage 30,130, Construction No. LC 112, Nat Grid Ref SH601418), now known as Ynysfor or Pooh Corner, just off the B4410 road
