History

The station opened in September 1863 by the Swansea Vale Railway. The line was taken over by the Midland Railway in 1876. The station closed to passengers on 25 September 1950[1] and closed completely in the 1960s. By 1985, the only trace left was the section preserved by the Swansea Vale Railway Society. In 2007, Swansea Council decided to redevelop the area and by 2010 there was no trace left.[2]
