The station, originally to be named Llanfaelog, was opened in November 1848 with a signal box being added in 1872. The box is located next to a level crossing which separates the two staggered platforms. There was a warehouse and a crane nearby and a small goods yard which closed in 1964.[1] The crossing gates are still hand worked by the crossing keeper – the Grade II listed box was formerly a block post, but no longer works as such (the block section now runs from Gaerwen to Valley).[2]
Facilities
The station is unmanned and has no ticketing provision – all tickets must be bought in advance or on the train. The station buildings still stand and are now used as a private residence;[2] basic waiting shelters are provided for passenger use on each side. Digital display screens, timetable posters and a telephone provide train running information. Step-free access is available to both platforms via ramps from the road that crosses the line here, though the gradient on both makes the station unsuitable for wheelchair users.[3]
