Doldowlod railway station stood on the Mid Wales Railway between Builth Wells and Rhayader.[3] It was closed on 31 December 1962 and the trackbed removed.

History

Doldowlod on Wye railway station was opened by the Mid-Wales Railway on 21 September 1864.[2] The Mid Wales Railway got into financial difficulties and a working arrangement was made with the Cambrian Railways on 2 April 1888;[4] who took over the line on 24 June 1904.[4] The line later became part of the Great Western Railway.[1]

The station along with the rest of the former Mid Wales Railway line was closed by the British Transport Commission on 31 December 1962.[2]
