Llynclys railway station was a station in Llynclys, Shropshire, England. The station was opened on 1 May 1860 and closed on 18 January 1965.[1]

Present day

The station remains as a private residence but both platforms have been filled in and the trackbed forms a garden. The Cambrian Heritage Railway have hopes to reconnect the line from Oswestry to Pant but have run into a problem with completing this due to the trackbed through the former station being a private residence and has led to the CHR waiting to buy the former station building and although the section south to Pant is used for heritage. This is what has led to the heritage railway being unable to reconnect with the line to Oswestry.
