Plas-y-Court railway Halt (site), Shropshire Opened in 1934 jointly by the Great Western Railway and London Midland & Scottish Railway on the line from Shrewsbury to Welshpool, this halt closed in 1960. View west towards Breidden and Welshpool. The diminutive single, timber platform had been to the left of the track. The railway line had opened in 1862 so this halt was a late addition.

Breidden railway station (site), Powys Opened in 1862 as "Middletown" by the Shrewsbury & Welshpool Railway on the line between those places, this line was jointly owned by the Great Western and London & North Western Railway. The station name was changed to "Middletown Hills in 1919, and to "Breidden" in 1928. It closed in 1960. View east towards Plas-y-Court and Shrewsbury. This was a passing point on an otherwise single line, unusually with staggered platforms. The Welshpool-bound platform was in the near distance to the right of the track, the Shrewsbury-bound platform just beyond the curve, to the left of the track.
