Llandow Halt railway station
Llandow Halt railway station served the village of Llandow in South Wales.
==History==
When the Vale of Glamorgan Railway opened in 1897, four of its five original stations served the principal settlements along the route. The fifth station, Southerndown Road acted as a feeder station for a number of smaller villages nearby.〔Chapman 1998, p. 61〕 However, this arrangement was not entirely satisfactory, as there was a long stretch of line between this station and Llantwit Major which was left unserved by trains. To an extent, this did not matter, because most settlements lay well to the south of the railway. The one exception was Llandow, which was located very near to the line, but had very inadequate road access to the two nearest stations. As a result, the Llandow Parish Council requested that the railway company erect a halt. The first request was in 1898, with another in 1901, but these were both refused. In 1905, with the introduction of steam railmotor services on the line, the Barry Railway Company agreed to erect halts at Llandow and Fontigary, but in the event, these were not built. A further request in 1908 was turned down. It was not until 1915 that the company accepted a fourth application and approved the building of Llandow Halt. It received provisional sanction from the Board of Trade on 20 April 1915 and opened on 1 May. It had cost £250 to build.〔Chapman 1998, p. 61〕
