    I thought it was still possible to catch a train at Newtown and there is no station at Caersws-just a level crossing.

    good god, soeone is alive to adr's deliberate error. quite right newtown is a very busy station especially on market day. i had not realised caersws was closed as when i got a day return from salop to barmouth, we atopped there, it may have been a token exchange

    if any of you are at a loose end this summer i reccommend a day return to barmouth or wherever on te cambrian, the scenery is stunning, and there is loads to do at barmouth. the cost of a day return to barmouth was £13 about 5 years ago

    There has been a move to try to re-open Carno station.
