From the Wikipedia article
Llanidloes railway station is a former junction railway station in Llanidloes, Powys, Wales. The Cambrian Railways, which completed the building in 1864, designed it to be both the station for the town and its company headquarters. This dual purpose gave Llanidloes station an imposing appearance. The station closed to passengers in 1962. The rest of the line was abandoned in 1967.
