The old station building at Llanfairpwll is now used as a warehouse having no railway use apart from being adorned with the huge reproduction totem carrying its 'other' name Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiligogogoch. This name was a creation of the Victorians and has no histrionical precedent other than to attract visitors in, and, come they do! There is a huge carpark on the site of the old shed and station yard where the coaches of tourists roll in to get their pictures taken with the station signs. They then visit the nearby gift shop to buy their trinkets.
