The station opened in 1880. It consisted of a single short platform with no goods facilities other than small parcels.[6] It closed from January 1917 to July 1919 as a wartime economy measure, then closed completely in 1930.

Summer excursions to Llanberis passed through until September 1962 and freight lingered on until the line closed in September 1964. The tracks were lifted in early 1965.

Pont Rug was at the midpoint of a five-mile climb from Pont Seiont to Pontrhythallt, mostly at 1 in 62 or 1 in 68.[7] In 1958 the station building was in use as a dwelling.
