Welsh-Language UK Train Stations Starting With Y/Yr

Yr having a laugh! Several train stations in the UK have different names in the Welsh language as seen on station signage, announcements, etc. (e.g. Chester -> Caer). These stations' Welsh-language names begin with the word "Y" or "Yr". Can you identify their English-language names?

Interesting that Nantwich is Yr Heledd-Wen! I'd always assumed since it's near the Welsh border that its name derived from the Welsh 'nant' (stream), but it seems the Welsh name is different altogether.
