Talerddig railway station

Talerddig railway station was a station in Talerddig, Powys, Wales. The station opened in 1900 and closed on 14 June 1965, one of many on the line abandoned as a result of the Beeching Axe.[1] The signal box predated the station, being built by McKenzie and Holland in 1874.[1] The old Station Masters house now form part of a private residence.[2] The station was demolished shortly after closure. There is still a much used passing loop on the Cambrian Line here, though this is now supervised from the signalling centre at Machynlleth and the points work automatically.
