Quirky station, only a few trains a day, if you miss one then its a 2 hour wait, does not have a ticket office, and not a lot to do, except for admiring the beautiful scenery and the quietness.
I love the fact that Knighton is the only town in Wales to have its train station in England.nKnighton railway station serves the border market town of Knighton in Powys, Wales, although the station itself is located in Shropshire, England the border is immediately adjacent to the south side of the station and runs through the car park. It lies 32+1⁄2 miles south west of Shrewsbury on the Heart of Wales Line.nThe railway station is located below street level at Station Road beside the River Teme and about 1⁄2 mile from the centre of the town. All trains serving the station are operated by Transport for Wales, who also manage the station.nnThe plans for a proposed Knighton to Presteigne Railway were deposited on 30 November 1865.nnThere are 5 trains a day to Swansea from Monday to Saturday, plus two more as far as Llandrindod on weekdays only. Northbound there are seven trains to Shrewsbury on weekdays and five on Saturdays. Two services each way call on Sundays.nnThe station was built in 1865, although the Knighton Railway route from Craven Arms had reached here four years previously. The present station dates from the opening of the Central Wales Railway to Llandrindod Wells. From here the line begins to climb as it heads west into Wales, eventually reaching a summit near Llangynllo some 980 feet above sea level.nnIn 2004 the station was partially refurbished, with visual display units installed to display train departure times, and enhanced disabled access on the northbound platform. The station building still stands, but is not used for railway purposes. Tickets must be bought on the train, whilst there are waiting shelters provided on each side and a customer help point situated on platform 1.nnThere are two platforms at the station today, although from 1964 until 1990 only a single line and platform was used. The 30 miles long block section between Craven Arms and Llandrindod Wells was considered to be a capacity bottleneck however and following the modernisation of the route signalling in 1986, an additional passing loop was installed here to provide extra capacity, with the disused second platform being refurbished and returned to use by British Rail. The northbound loop was out of action for more than two years but was put back into use by Network Rail in September 2010 following the replacement of the old automatic points with new electrically worked ones.
Got the train from Birmingham to this station to start a hike on Offas Dyke path national trail. Walk for 5 days to Abergervenny and get the train home from there.
Cute historic station. Plus are the lovely flowers, minus is no toilets
Old building
