Dolau railway station is a railway station serving the small village of Dolau in Powys, mid Wales. It is located on the Heart of Wales Line and is served by four trains each way per weekday. Passenger services are operated by Arriva Trains Wales.
The station is beautifully cared for; you can see plants, flowers, and a wooden waiting shelter with a clock outside. H. M. Queen Elizabeth II unveiled a plaque at the station in 2002 commemorating her visit during the Golden Jubilee visit to Wales.
Formerly known as Dolau Halt, the suffix was dropped in 1969.
Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
