Harlech, surely?

Looking down on the station from near the castle, in a NNW direction, with a northbound DMU, Metro-Cammell cl. 101 in the station, waiting to cross a southbound train. The long platform shelters are for school traffic, Harlech having the pricipal comprehensive in this area.

The long shelters may have originated earlier, when (during WW2) Harlech was the location of an important Royal Artillery range. There was a standard gauge circular target railway in the dunes NW of the station (just off the top of this photo), connected to the GWR by a connection just to the north of the crossing loop points (worked from a ground frame)

I would guess that these photos fit with the other photos on the Cambrian Coast in the G series as I noticed that Harlech had been missed.
