History
In 1867 the Manchester and Milford Railway (M&MR) opened the railway from Pencader to Aberystwyth. [2] however in 1906 the Great Western Railway took over the line and added a halt at Pencarreg in 1930. The halt became part of British Railways upon nationalisation in 1948 but was closed in 1965. Photographs show that it stood on a single track section of the line, had no sidings or signalling, had one short wooden platform, a small shelter, a single oil lamp and a path leading down from the nearby road.
In December 1964 severe flooding damaged the line south of Aberystwyth and passenger services were cancelled. A limited service continued running from Carmarthen to Tregaron for a few months after the line was severed and the route was closed to passengers in February 1965, the line itself however remained open for milk traffic until 1973. [3]
Nothing now remains of the station and the trackbed is a rough track.
