==History==
The local granite quarries are a major source stone aggregate railway traffic especially for road building and railway maintenance purposes. Transfer sidings for this traffic are located next to the station and are controlled from the station signal box. This had to be relocated following a fatal accident at the station in August 1950. Six people were killed when a goods train undertaking shunting operations at the station in the early hours was inadvertently diverted onto the main line, where it collided with the fast-moving eastbound Irish Mail express from Holyhead.〔(Penmaenmawr Train Crash 1950 ) Gathering the Jewels; Retrieved 2009-03-20〕〔(Penmaenmawr Signal Box ) www.signalbox.org; Retrieved 2009-03-20〕 The poor view afforded of the sidings from the old box was cited as one of the contributory factors to the accident.
An earlier accident occurred near Penmaenmawr on 12 January 1899 when an express freight train was derailed because a storm had washed away the trackbed. Both locomotive crew were killed.
