Contents

All trains serving the station are operated by Transport for Wales.

Facilities

Like many of its neighbours, the station has only one active platform, no surviving permanent buildings and is located adjacent to an automatic half barrier level crossing. The barrier sequence is triggered by the train crew (pressing a plunger on the platform) for northbound services, so these are all timetabled to stop here. Southbound services however only call if requested to do so. The station also has the usual collection of amenities common to others on this part of the line (waiting shelter, CIS display, timetable poster board and customer help point) as well as a payphone. Level access is available between the main entrance and platform. [2]

Services

There are five trains a day to Shrewsbury northbound from Monday to Saturday (plus two more to Llandovery) and seven southbound to Llanelli and Swansea (the first train in each direction does not run on Saturdays); two services each way call on Sundays. [3]
