History
Opened by the Vale of Neath Railway, it became part of the Great Western Railway. The line then passed on to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. Renamed by the British Transport Commission, it was then closed by the British Railways Board.
The site today
Station Road marks the site of the former railway station, now home to the local branch of the Royal British Legion.
