Just noticed a reference (and found a photograph) to a Pencarreg Halt located between Lampeter and Llanbyther.

Indeed this is the case. It was a late addition to the line, extremely small in size, being opened by the GWR as late as 1930 and saw closure in 1965.

There is the need for an exact location to be confirmed as two other stations , Maesycrugiau and Bryn Teifi, were constructed between Llanbyther and Lampeter and its position needs research as to where it actually was situated in relation to those two other intermediate stations

Incidentally. the two accepted names for Llanbyther and Llanbydder station are perfectly acceptable on this line when used on this quiz
