Location

Llynclys railway station was a station in Llynclys, Shropshire, England. The station was opened on 1 May 1860 and closed on 18 January 1965.[1][2]

Present day

The station remains as a private residence but both platforms have been filled in and the trackbed forms a garden. The Cambrian Heritage Railway have hopes to reconnect the line from Oswestry to Pant but have run into a problem with completing this due to the trackbed through the former station being part of a private residence and has led to the CHR waiting to buy the former station building, although part of the section south to Pant has been rebuilt as a heritage railway. This is what has led to the heritage railway being unable to reconnect with the line to Oswestry.
