Plawsworth[edit]

The page gives the closure date for Plawsworth station as 1952 - I was born in 1970 and can remember meeting my grandparents on the platform at Plawsworth, in fact I probably have a photograph of the occasion somewhere - so it was still there with trains in the 1970s...

The de facto standard reference book for stations —

Butt, R. V. J. (October 1995). The Directory of Railway Stations: details every public and private passenger station, halt, platform and stopping place, past and present (1st ed.). Sparkford: Patrick Stephens Ltd. ISBN 978-1-85260-508-7. OCLC 60251199. OL 11956311M.

— says it closed on 7 April 1952. Are you sure it was open for regular, timetabled passenger traffic, or was this some special occasion? Can you find a reliable reference to prove it was open in the 70s? --Dr Greg (talk) 19:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pencader Junction[edit]

I am investigating the existance of a station at Pencader Junction that closed around 1880. This is on the line from Carmarten-Aberystwth closed in 1965. The station was about one mile north of Pencader village and station (closed 1965) at the junction with the Newcastle Emlyn branch. Subject to further research I will be submitting an entry for the Closed Railway Stations List. Perhaps Butts book lists it? Any further information?
