The rather sad looking Pwllheli West Frame signal box stands unused and unloved just beyond the station. The box has been closed since 1976 being downgraded from Pwllheli West to Pwllheli West Frame. This was when BR introduced the no-signalman token system that precipitated the closure of a number of boxes on the line. The box was built by the Cambrian Railway Company to a Dutton and Company type 2 design fitted with a 40 lever frame and was opened in 1909.
