A CAMBRIAN Railways’ ticket from Glandovey Junction to Welshpool, a journey which cost 3s-9d, was the top seller at a Great Central ticket postal auction in mid-July, with a realisation of £290.
The remote station, which has no road access, was opened in 1867 where the Aberystwyth and Pwllheli lines diverge, and was renamed Dovey Junction in 1904. It is still open today.
At £260 came an LNER 1d platform ticket for Coborn Road (Old Ford), a station on the main line in east London 2½ miles out of Liverpool Street.
