 George Stephenson notably reported that the line was not worth building.The idea of a local railway was still of interest to the people of Anglesey.A public meeting was held in Llangefni on 5 July 1858, to popularise the idea of building a railway leaving the main line at Gaerwen, running north to Amlwch, west to Cemaes Bay, then south through Llanrhyddlad to rejoin the main line at Valley.
