Abermoore was a terminus station past Llanfairpwllgwyngyll. It housed 5 platforms.

The station, along with the line to Llanfair and the unfinished double-track line, was removed in April of 2024 due to its creator, RAYE resigning^[1].

In addition to the single-track line from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, there was also an unfinished double-track line terminating here that was added along with the station. It ran through the sea, was partially embanked on sand and ended after a few hundred meters. This line was the Newhaven-On-Sea line, which was never entirely finished.

In its state before removal, the station was floating above the sea and its switches couldn't be controlled without assistance from a developer with access to administrative tools.

Trivia

The name of the station was chosen through a name competition.
- In the announcement of the name competition, the station was described as a "grand terminus station which is semi-subsurface and is next to the ocean".^[2]
Abermoore housed the only animated motorised points.
The track was not equipped with 3rd rail electrification, therefore electrified units such as the Class 377 and Class 450 could not proceed into the section.
