Sugar Loaf railway station is a railway station in Powys, Wales, and is the most remote station on the Heart of Wales Line. It is located one mile to the north-east of a small but prominent knoll known as Sugar Loaf, around which the A483 road loops. The line through here was opened by the Central Wales Extension Railway in 1868.
This station is a request stop used mainly by trekkers and cyclists, since it is the nearest stop to the Sugar Loaf vantage point, although it was originally built to serve a number of cottages occupied by railway workers (such as track gangers). South of the station the line passes beneath the hills via the 1,000-yard (910 m) Sugar Loaf tunnel, which is approached by gradients as steep as 1 in 60 on each side.
The station sees very few passengers - in 2010/2011 an estimated 84 passengers used the station and in 2014 it was reported that the station was averaging five passengers per month.
