A little simular bit not quite.

Depending on the May timetable change but as it may go back to pre covid. Claverdon and Bearly stations had Chilton trains treating these stops as conventional stops but the once a day WM Trains service having these two stations once a day in one direction only as request stops.

Currently Chiltern treat Bearly and Claverdob as regular stops and WM Trains treating them as request stops. More than twice passengers have been left waiting in the waiting room as they have not positively signaled for the train to stop for them and its not stopped.

Not in the current timetable or recently, they all stop both ways. Might have been true once though.

Geoff Marshall has a useful map of request stop stations here: https://www.geofftech.co.uk/downloads/RequestStops.pdf.

This lists one way request stops all on the Heart of Wales (and other request stop oddities). Not sure how up-to-date it is though.

Tal-y-Cafn on the Blaenau Ffestiniog branch is a mandatory stop southbound (towards Llanrwst) and a request stop northbound (towards Llandudno Junction).

I stand corrected, always was the case though.
