In 1982, with the completion of the rebuilding of the Ffestiniog Railway (nprn 34660) to Blaenau, a new Ffestiniog Railway / British Rail Joint Station, known as Blaenau Ffestiniog Central, was opened on the site of the Festiniog Railway / Great Western Railway Joint Station of 1883.
The standard-gauge side is the terminus of the Conwy Valley Line (nprn 415673) from Llandudno and comprises a single platform (Platform 1) opening directly on to the station car park and the High Street. There is a run-round loop.
The narrow-gauge side comprises an island platform (Platforms 2 and 3) with an overall roof reached by a footbridge and also from the standard-gauge platform and the town centre by a pedestrian level crossing at the terminal end. Narrow-gauge trains normally use Platform 3. There is also a narrow-gauge run-round loop.
