From the Wikipedia article
Sugar Loaf railway station is a railway station in Powys, Wales, and is part of the Heart of Wales Line. It is the most geographically remote station in Wales. The station is located one mile (1.5 kilometres) northeast of a small but prominent knoll known as Sugar Loaf, around which the A483 road loops. The line through here was opened by the Central Wales Extension Railway in 1868. The passing loop and associated Sugar Loaf Summit signal box were removed and the station closed to passengers in 1965 but the station subsequently reopened to traffic in 1984. The station's name in Welsh is Dinas y Bwlch; however, in Welsh station announcements, the station is referred to as Pen-y-fâl, the name given to the mountain of the same name in Monmouthshire.
