Talgarth railway station was a station in Talgarth, Powys, Wales on the Mid-Wales Railway between Three Cocks Junction and Brecon.

History

The station was opened in 1864 concurrent with the opening of the Mid-Wales company line between Llanidloes and Talyllyn Junction; regular services started in September 1864 but special trains had run at the end of August. The station closed in 1962 when all lines to Brecon including the Mid-Wales line were closed. The station building survives as a private residence with the nearby Rugby Ground and the old track bed is now incorporated into the A479 road.
