Operations
Completed in 1859, the railway ran from Penpontbren Junction in the south, via the company headquarters at Llanidloes. There were then two intermediate stations before Moat Lane Junction, where the Newtown and Machynlleth Railway extension of the Aberystwyth and Welsh Coast Railway joined the line. Passing two further halts, the line entered Newtown, the joint station with the Oswestry and Newtown Railway which took the line northwards to towards Shrewsbury, Crewe and Manchester. The railway had no rolling stock of its own, simply allowing its partners to access it rails.
In 1860 the L&NR was absorbed as part of the Cambrian Railways, along with all of its connecting railways. It then became part of the GWR on grouping in 1923.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“There is a patent office at the seat of government of the universe, whose managers are as much interested in the dispersion of seeds as anybody at Washington can be, and their operations are infinitely more extensive and regular.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
—Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
