History
The Oswestry and Newtown Railway (O&NR) was authorised in 1855,[1] and opened in stages.[2] The final section, between Welshpool and Abermule, opened on 10 June 1861,[3] and one of the stations opened that day was Montgomery.[4]
The station was Lua error in Module:Convert at line 452: attempt to index field 'titles' (a nil value). from Whitchurch,[5] between Forden and Abermule[6] and was situated more than 1 mile (1.6 km) from the town of Montgomery.[5] It had two platforms which were slightly staggered, and the station building was on the northern side; there were also a signal box and goods shed.[5]
In June 1864, the O&NR amalgamated with several other companies to form the Cambrian Railways.[7] As part of the 1923 Grouping, the Cambrian amalgamated with the Great Western Railway.[8]
The station was closed by British Railways on 14 June 1965.[4]
