History

The station was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1928 on its line from Pontypool to Newport. The Halt lay between Pontypool Crane Street to the north and Coedygric Junction to the south. Passenger services were withdrawn and the station closed on 30 April 1962.

The trackbed has been redeveloped into a roadway, and proceeds north-west as a footpath.

gollark: *But*, the RNG probably doesn't have memory of which ones were dropped, so it has just as much chance of dropping another silver as it usually would, except the system is weird and picks a new set every hour or so, so I don't really know.
gollark: See, from a perspective of having not seen *any* of the drops yet, the probability of two rares is lower than the probability of one, probably.
gollark: It'll be horrible, I tell you.
gollark: I mean, unless TJ09 actually implemented the RNG that way.
gollark: Gambler's fallacy.
