Arddleen Railway Station
Arddleen railway station served the village of Arddlin in Powys, Wales, sited on the former Cambrian Railways between Oswestry and Welshpool. Served by the Oswestry and Newtown railway, it was situated near the English border. History Although the Cambrian main line through Arddleen was opened for service on 1 May 1860, Arddleen station did not come fully into service until 1863. The line was built by the Oswestry and Newtown Railway, then absorbed into the Cambrian Railways, and it became part of the Great Western Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. Arddleen was reclassified as a Halt in June 1954 when the original station building, which incorporated a small booking office and waiting room, was replaced by a simple wooden shelter. In the same year the platform may have been rebuilt showing the fancy stone facing on the platform frontage. Situated between Four Crosses and Pool Quay, ...

Railway Stations In Great Britain Opened In 1862
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facili ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Four Crosses railway station was a station on the former Cambrian Railways between Oswestry and Welshpool. History Opened in 1860 as part of the Oswestry and Newtown Railway (O&NR), it served the village of Four Crosses in Powys, Wales. The O&NR line south of to was single track, with passing loops at each intermediate station. Four Crosses was the main crossing point for passenger trains from to Newtown, and so was re-configured by the Great Western Railway in 1925, when a private sidings was also laid to the nearby creamery, giving milk trains direct access. The GWR improved the up platform, installed longer passing loops of in length, and reconfigured the 1896 signal box to cope with additional traffic.

Oswestry Railway Station
Oswestry railway station is a Grade II listed heritage railway station in Oswestry, Shropshire, England. It was closed when passenger services were withdrawn in 1966. The station building today is used as commercial premises although the Cambrian Railways Society are restoring it. History Great Western Railway The railway was first opened by the Great Western Railway (GWR) who opened its single platform station on 1 January 1849 on a branch from Gobowen. Under the Railway Act 1921, the Cambrian Railways was allocated to the GWR. The GWR closed its competing station on 7 July 1924 and diverted all services to either pass through or terminate at the adjacent former Cambrian Railways station. The main GWR service integrated was the shuttle to Chester via Gobowen on the Shrewsbury-Chester line. The GWR immediately made the Cambrian Railways/London & North Western Railway engine shed its divisional base for the new Oswestry locomotive division, allocating it code: OSW. In 192 ...

Montgomeryshire Canal
The Montgomery Canal ( cy, Camlas Trefaldwyn), known colloquially as "The Monty", is a partially restored canal in eastern Powys and northwest Shropshire. The canal runs from the Llangollen Canal at Frankton Junction to Newtown via Llanymynech and Welshpool and crosses the England–Wales border. Originally, the canal from Llanymynech to Newtown was known as the Montgomeryshire Canal. It was named after the county of Montgomeryshire that it ran through and it was divided into Western and Eastern branches which met at Garthmyl. At Carreghofa Locks near Llanymynech, the Montgomeryshire Canal connected to the Llanymynech Branch of the Ellesmere Canal. These elements of the present-day Montgomery Canal were unified when they each became part of the Shropshire Union system: the Ellesmere Canal in 1846, the Eastern Branch in 1847 and the Western Branch in 1850. The canal fell into disuse following a breach in 1936 and was officially abandoned in 1944. With the revival of cana ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
