Llandinam railway station

Llandinam railway station was a station serving Llandinam, Powys, on the Llanidloes and Newtown Railway (L&NR) line. The L&NR was authorised in August 1853; construction began in October 1855 and the line was opened between those points for goods traffic only on 30 April 1859 – passengers were carried from 31 August 1859. Llandinam was one of three intermediate stations on the 13-mile line. The station was opened in 1859 by David Davies who was born in Llandinam and was a major contractor for building the line. In July 1864 the L&NR amalgamated with three other railways to create the Cambrian Railways, which in January 1922 amalgamated with the Great Western Railway which itself became part of British Railways in 1948. It closed to passengers at the end of 1962, and finally to goods in 1967. The station fronted the River Severn beyond Llandinam Bridge and is now a private dwelling. There remains a section of track embedded in the road from the A470 to Broneirion at the former level crossing site.
