Yeah, I’d not heard of it, makes you wonder how some of those smaller stations survived Beeching - provided they were open then.

Don't know if we have any request stops in Wales? I've never come across one.

Sugar Loaf station is a request stop only twenty nine miles from Treherbert - looks like it was closed under the Beeching review but then reopened in the eighties.

I came back from Builth Wells via Craven Arms on one occasion. I had to do a “ Portillo” and hold out my arm to stop the approaching train. I was the only person on the platform. A weird sensation
