Welshpool railway station (Welsh: Y Trallwng) is a railway station on the Cambrian Line, in mid-Wales. It serves the town of Welshpool.
The modern station is a single island platform between the two railway lines, reached by a large pedestrian bridge over the eastbound railway line and the A483 road. It has no facilities beyond a small shelter and benches. This new structure was built to replace the old station in the early 1990s after the building of the new section of the A483 required the railway line to be shifted slightly to the south. The old station can still be seen across the road, and has been converted into a mill shop and cafe.
