Helena may have to wait up to two months for the next ship; it is no good putting a hand out at the request stop, because no ship is there.
Rhydyronen, now a request stop, was the first intermediate station built on the line, opening in 1867.
For its first few years the station was an unstaffed halt and a request stop.
Every intermediate station is a request stop and, during low season, trains are often known to travel straight from one end of the line to the other, without stopping.
Llangammarch is a request stop: passengers wishing to board a train here must signal to the driver; those wishing to alight must inform the train conductor.
A bus sails past because it is a request stop and the blind person does not know.
There may be an omnibus or tramcar request stop.
I understand that any savings that might arise from making an unstaffed station a request stop are unlikely to be sufficient to influence materially its viability.
