Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynghordy_railway_station

2024: "Cynghordy railway station (Welsh pronunciationⓘ) serves the rural community of Cynghordy near Llandovery, Carmarthenshire, Wales. The station is on the Heart of Wales Line 46 3⁄4 miles   (75 km) north east of Swansea and is located at street level at the end of a gravel track off a lane that is just off the main A483 road.

After departing this station heading northbound, the train crosses the Cynghordy Viaduct where panoramic views of the surrounding countryside can be seen. The grade II* listed 18-arch viaduct carries the route across the Afon Bran valley on a gentle curve - it is 102 feet (31 m) high and 850 feet (260 m) long and was built from sandstone and brick between 1867 and 1868.[1] The viaduct is visible, using good binoculars, from the highest Black Mountain ridges.

All trains serving the station are operated by Transport for Wales (who also manage it). There are five trains a day in each direction (towards Swansea and Shrewsbury) from Monday to Saturday, and two services on Sundays.[3] This is a request stop, whereby passengers have to give a hand signal to the approaching train driver to board or notify the guard when they board that they wish to alight from the train there."
