With that one, the location coordinates were in the URL bar at the top of the screen, which made it easier than you probably intended (though I'm not commenting on whether @twpsaesneg had noticed that)

Ah, school boy error. I'm usually pretty good at double checking for that as well

I had been looking at an aerial map of Prestatyn for professional reasons.... It's quite distinctive !

Anyway... a clue is that my entry is in the correct half of Wales :)

First time I've seen a picture on this thread with another station in the photo too (and one just out of your cropping).

S Yorks, usually
Finally. It's Llandecwyn, with Penrhyndeudraeth also in view, and Minffordd just off to the left.
What happened to the map colours? It doesn't distinguish water from land very well!
Open floor if someone else wants to have a go - Gathursty since you seem to have identified it without naming it?

My next clue is the station is named after the settlement which is named after the river beside the railway.

Time for a clue - the old chord that is hidden under the trees to the right was never actually used, although there have been proposals to link the electrified line that runs top right to bottom left to the un-electrified line that runs diagonally opposite. Cryptically - the trees might be called Bill around here

More clues - both lines are branches running to suburban terminal stations that were once through stations, but in both cases the through lines closed before Beeching. The electrification dates from May 1962
