Menai Bridge Trackplan prior to closure

[Siphon208]

I've been interested in this station for a while- I think the line to Caernarfon should have stayed open. Do any of our experts on the North Wales Coast line, have any information on the track layout, prior to closure, if possible. Any information would be gratefully received

 

Thanks

See the Old Maps site. They have a 1970 map at 1:2500 and earlier ones too

The book "An Historical Survey of Chester to Holyhead Railway - Track Layouts and Illustrations" by Anderson and Fox published by the OPC contains both a signalling diagram and a trackplan for Menai Bridge along with nearly all the other stations on the line. 

For more color, and information on additional lines including Bangor to Caernarfon, the late Bill Rears book "From Chester to Holyhead - The Branch Lines" is highly recommended.
