The distant red lights are on the back of the Arriva Trains Wales 10:56am departure from Dovey Junction. Scheduled journey time today is 10 minutes to Borth station and 22 minutes to the terminus at Aberystwyth. Between the platform and the train, a bridge carries the Cambrian Line railway over Llyfnant, a tributary of the River Dovey/Afon Dyfi.
Dovey Junction Station :: SN6998

Dovey Junction railway station (Cyffordd Dyfi) is a station on the Cambrian Line in Wales. It is the junction where the line splits into the line to Aberystwyth and the Cambrian Coast Line to Pwllheli. Passenger services are provided by Arriva Trains Wales. There is a single island platform.
The station is in Powys, about 440 yards NE of the junction of three counties: the current "principal areas" of Ceredigion, Powys and Gwynedd, corresponding to the traditional counties of Cardiganshire, Montgomeryshire and Merionethshire. (Ceredigion is part of the preserved county of Dyfed.)
The station is in the midst of the large Dyfi National Nature Reserve, near the Cardigan Bay coast. There is no settlement here but, contrary to common belief, it is not completely isolated: a 0.6 miles long path provides passenger access to and from the hamlet of Glandyfi in Ceredigion and a main road (the A487)
