History

The station was opened on 1 June 1865 by the Llanelly Railway. It was supposed to close on 1 May 1870 but this never materialised, neither did the supposed 1 June closure. It was omitted from Bradshaw in May 1870 and was still absent in June 1871. In the Cambrian timetables, the 1 July 1870 edition showed that the trains stopped at the station but the 8 July edition showed that no trains stopped. The trains were shown stopping again in the 4 August edition. Trains were once again shown as not stopping from 1 April to 1 June 1880. This was due to a dispute with the London North Western Railway.^[1] The station closed on 9 September 1963.^[2][3]
