Aberedw railway station served the village of Aberedw in Mid Wales. Aberedw Castle was demolished to build the station and some of the stone from the castle was used as track ballast.
History
Opened by the Mid Wales Railway, then operated by the Cambrian Railways, it became part of the Great Western Railway. Passing on to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, it was then closed by the British Transport Commission.
