The halt, which could be accessed by a path from the foot of the Black Rock (Welsh : Graig Ddu), consisted of a 100-foot-long (30 m) wooden platform and was opened on 9 July 1923 [2] by the Great Western Railway, which saw itself as the 'holiday line'. It closed on safety grounds in August 1976, but was not officially closed until 27 June 1977. No trace of the wooden platform now remains.
Trains on the Cambrian Line pass the site of the former station, which is just about discernible on modern aerial photography. [3] The site of the halt can be seen from the Wales Coast Path.
