Location

Llansantffraid railway station is a former station in Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain, Powys, Wales. The station opened in 1863 and closed in 1965. The station's two signal boxes, built by Dutton & Co., were moved to Oswestry and Shrewsbury. ^[1]

Present day

The former mill and goods shed, now a Wynnstay and Spar

Much of the station site is still intact, with the platform retained as a conservatory onto the former trackbed, which has been converted into a children's play area. The station building is now a restaurant.

In 2025, the farm supplies company Wynnstay renovated the site, which is next to its headquarters, as a country store for farmers, gardeners and pet owners, with a Spar grocery on site too.
