Pentrecourt Platform railway station

Pentrecourt Platform was a minor railway station near the village of Pentrecwrt, West Wales, on the originally broad gauge Teifi Valley line of the Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway.

[2] The Teifi Valley Railway was originally conceived as a 7 ft 1⁄4 in (2,140 mm) broad-gauge line between Carmarthen and Cardigan.

The line was purchased by the Great Western Railway and extended to a terminus at Newcastle Emlyn in 1895,[3] The GWR did not build the line on to Cardigan and Newcastle Emlyn remained the terminus.

A farmer's occupation bridge pierced the embankment a little further on, and then a culvert for a stream before the single short wooden platform and pagoda style corrugated iron hut on the up side of the running line was reached.

[2] The line ran downstream from the station towards Henllan, passing under the minor road supported on the Alltycefan Bridge before curving to the right alongside the steep hillside above the river and then passing into the 167 yard long Alltycefan tunnel.
