Information
Type: National Rail (Cardiff Railway)
Opened: 1911
Closed: 1931
Platforms: 2

The station was opened by the Cardiff Railway in 1911. The station was one of the largest stations on the line with two platforms and a footbridge between then. One of the platforms was taken out of use in 1928 when the line was singled. The line did not attract the numbers of passengers hoped for due to competition from motor buses.

The station was closed for good in 1931. Although the line was re-opened in 1947 the station did not re-open.
