*Mileage from Moat Lane Junction station. Trains to Brecon operated from a dedicated on-branch platform. The station closed with the Brecon line as its raison d'être ceased.
**Talyllyn Junction station was actually located west of West Jct. on the line towards Brecon. A short platform was provided, however, just to the east side of the junction on the curve to North Jct. in the Hereford direction only, presumably to facilitate connections. (See Llyn Syfaddan History Group website for some interesting and excellent plans, diagrams, drawings and photos.)
