Lydney

This diagram lacks Lydney, which, as a major town on the route, is pretty fundamental! I'm not good at these diagrams, but perhaps someone who is could have a go. Johnlp (talk) 11:46, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Margam Halt railway station

This station was not closed until 1964, but it is not shown on the Template : South Wales Railway RDT. Could anyone think why it was omitted from this particular template, please?

@Xenophon Philosopher: Since you don't link it, I'm guessing that you mean Margam railway station, which is a redlink. According to Butt (1995), p. 155, there was a station of that name which closed on 2 November 1964, but it was a private or restricted-use station. Butt also indicates that the opening date is unknown. So, there are two possible reasons that it might be omitted: (i) it wasn't a public station; (ii) it wasn't opened by the South Wales Railway, but some years after its amalgamation with the GWR. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:06, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

(Moved from User talk:Steamybrian2) This railway station ,closed in 1964, was situated on the South Wales Railway between Port Talbot and Pyle although the railway through the station is still open as part of the GW main line. I have noticed that the station was missing from the Railway Diagram Templates (RDT) of both the South Wales Railway and the Port Talbot area railways. I have attempted this morning to insert them but my attempts have not been completely successfully and maybe the location is incorrect as through my research I have been unable to trace its precise location. Firstly I apologise for any errors I have made and accordingly can the editors please check my amendments and correct any errors I have made.Steamybrian2 (talk) 13:56, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

According to {{Quick-Stations}}, Margam was opened on 4 February 1948 for steelworkers and was served by Cardiff to Swansea stopping services and specials for shift workers including one from Treherbert via the RSB. If you need a location, I can dig out my Cobb atlas. Lamberhurst (talk) 21:17, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Butt does not use the word "Halt", which he does for actual halts. --Redrose64 (talk) 00:35, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Quick makes reference to tickets which show the station name with "Halt". Lamberhurst (talk) 08:55, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
