History

Doldowlod on Wye railway station was opened by the Mid-Wales Railway on 21 September 1864. [2] The Mid Wales Railway got into financial difficulties and a working arrangement was made with the Cambrian Railways on 2 April 1888; [4] who took over the line on 24 June 1904. [4] The line later became part of the Great Western Railway. [1]

The station along with the rest of the former Mid Wales Railway line was closed by the British Transport Commission on 31 December 1962. [2]
