Thanks very much for clarifying. I went through the link, following ArchangelA's OP and then googled Llanwrtyd Wells. I wasn't expecting anything the size of, say, Manchester Piccadilly but was quite surprised to see that the station is little more than an outhouse. Well I've learned something new today...
