From the Wikipedia article
Sylfaen railway station, located in the tiny hamlet of Sylfaen on the A548, is an unstaffed request halt on the narrow gauge Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway 2+3⁄4 miles (4.4 km) from the Welshpool Raven Square terminus. It has a short platform and waiting shelter. Opened as Sylfaen Farm Siding in 1904 it was renamed 'Sylfaen Halt' on 1 February 1913. Sylfaen was closed to passengers on 9 February 1931. Originally the halt had a short goods siding. Parcels could be left in a box and a special blast on the engine's whistle indicated items to be collected. The Great Western Railway withdrew passenger services in 1931. and the line closed completely on 3 November 1956. By 1972 the line had been restored as far as Sylfaen. The station was furbished and provided with a passing loop for the beginning of the 2024 season.
