History

158831 operating an Arriva Trains Wales service from Cheltenham Spa to Maesteg

Passenger services were restored to the Maesteg Line in 1992 by British Rail and Mid Glamorgan County Council. The station opened on 26 October 1992, slightly later than planned along with Wildmill. Both stations were brand new additions and did not replace a station previously in existence prior to the 1970 passenger service withdrawal. The platform was lengthened in 2008 to allow four-car trains to operate busier services. This was funded by the Welsh Assembly Government and the European Union.

Service

Services are operated by Transport for Wales Rail Services as part of the Valley Lines network for local services.
