About your departure station
Bucknell station (1865) on the Heart of Wales line was built by Central Wales Railway to serve rural farming communities.
This basic request stop nearly closed in the 1960s but was saved by local campaigning.
The original wooden buildings were replaced in the 1980s with simple shelters.
Today it handles just 10,000 annual passengers but remains vital for local mobility in this sparsely populated Shropshire Wales border area.
With no ticket facilities just a shelter and bench Bucknell exemplifies minimalist rural rail provision.
Recent timetable improvements have increased its viability for residents and occasional tourists exploring the surrounding countryside.
