I make it two....unless Ynysddu Lower (Goods) had a passenger service at one time.

I have solved your problem. Look at the Wikipedia template of the Merthyr, Tredegar and Abergavenny Railway. Half-way down on the right hand side, starting at Sirhowy, you will see the line of the Sirhowy Railway. Carry on downwards until you arrive at a junction off the main line south of Pont Lawrence Halt where you will see a short goods line that gave access to the goods depots of Ynysddu Lower to the north and Wattsville to the south.

The actual main line passed through the three passenger stations of Ynysddu Lower, Pont Lawrence Halt and finally Nine Mile Point, where this journey we are on ends.
