An apparently rudimentary shelter stood on the opposite side of the track; it served as a carriage and loco shed and repair shop. This latter structure became a slate shed after narrow gauge services ceased. A photo of a narrow gauge train at the station is reproduced in two significant works on the route without being captioned as being at that location in either. That the photo shows a train at Llan Ffestiniog is demonstrated by a much later shot in a third serious work, and corroborated by local readers. One further published photograph is captioned as "...could be at Llan Ffestiniog."
