History
The station was opened on 1 October 1901 by the Great Western Railway. It was situated to the north of Bronwylfa Road. It initially had a ground level signal box but it was later replaced in 1905 with a new one to the west. When Ponkey Crossing Halt closed in 1915, the remainder of the Legacy Branch became a goods siding. The station closed to passengers on 1 January 1931[1] but it remained open to goods, as did the goods siding. The signal box closed in 1952. The station closed to goods on 14 October 1963. The track was lifted in 1964.[2]
