I suspect this is a halt, rather than a station. Will listen to the announcement next time I'm on a Heart of Wales train.

It's still a station though isn't it? And what's the difference between station and halt? I thought that the halt tag was more for tourist railways; the wiki isn't very helpful.

I thought British Railways/British Rail classified them all as stations to hide how many it was making un-manned in the 60s/70s

In the UK we map request stops as halts and principle stations as stations. It gives an indication that you will have to go and find the guard, or put your hand out if you want the train to stop.
The wiki is confusing, not sure what points have to do with it. By that rule Telford is a halt :)

They use the term Principal stations.
The usual announcement when when my train leaves Shrewsbury is "We shall be calling at the following principle stations, Wem, Whitchurch, Nantwich and Crewe. Yorton, Prees and Wrenbury are request stops and you need to speak to the conductor if you want the train to stop"

Comment from DaveF
They are all stations, just varying in size & facilities. Any differences should be noted in sub tags. Such as railway=station, station=halt (although it should be more accurately described: request_stop=yes). Can't speak for everywhere, but there's a couple of 'halts' on my line which have become permanent stops due to increased passenger loads.
