Llangynllo railway station


Llangynllo railway station is a countryside stop in Powys about 5 miles west of Knighton, on the Heart of Wales Line. The station is located 1.4 miles north of Llangunllo village, at road level beside two houses on a minor rural road off the B4356 road.

Services

All trains serving the station are operated by Transport for Wales. There are four trains a day in each direction from Monday to Saturday and a fifth morning service to Shrewsbury for commuters on weekdays; two services call on Sundays.
This is a request stop, where passengers have to signal to the driver to board or alight from the train. The highest point on the line is a short distance to the north of the station, near to the southern portal of the 647 yd long Llangynllo tunnel.

Facilities

The station is unstaffed and has no ticketing provision, so all tickets must be purchased before travel or on the train. It has been fitted with a CIS display, payphone and customer help point in addition to the standard timetable poster board and waiting shelter. The platform is low, which has caused access issues for passengers in the past but an easy access ramp has since been fitted to help passengers when joining or leaving trains. A disused platform is still visible opposite the active one.
