[edit] Potential Infobox for Talyllyn Station Articles

This is based on a template from the Puffing Billy Railway article - Needs a few modifications to get it to UK standards - ie OS Map rather than Melway, and a grid references, and distance from Flinders street could be modified to distance from Tywyn Wharf but this template seems more appropriate than the infobox for mainline stations as seen on the Wharf article.
