Gorsaf Caersws Edward Thomas' classic poem Adlestrop really came to mind when I waited alone on the platform on a sultry afternoon ('Unwontedly. It was late June.'). 

'No one left, and no one came / On the bare platform...And willows, willow-herb, and grass / And meadowsweet and haycocks dry, / No whit less still and lonely fair / Than the high cloudlets in the sky.'
