Groesfaen Colliery Platform railway station

Disused railway station in Bargoed, Caerphilly From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Groesfaen Colliery Platform railway station served the workers at Groesfaen Colliery near the town of Bargoed, Caerphilly, Wales on the Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway. The site of the platform does not appear on OS maps and the station was only for workers at the nearby colliery.[citation needed] Nothing remains of the platform or colliery and the station site has since been reused by the A469.
