The access to the station is via a one-way system off High Street exiting via Carlton Terrace.

[1][2] By June 1851 trains were ordered to stop at the level crossing here as soon as booking arrangements were complete.

[3] This was not uncommon practice in the early days of railways when trains could be boarded at designated stopping-places, passengers clambering aboard from the lineside having purchased tickets from a nearby inn.

[4] There was a station on the site by August 1851 as from then it appeared in the timetable, at this time there were two trains each day in each direction, terminating at Newport Courtybella and Blaina.

[6][7] On Mondays to Saturdays, there are two trains an hour between Cardiff Central or Newport and Ebbw Vale Town in each direction.
