[2] This connection, which lay just to the east of the level crossing, was re-used between 1984 and 1996 for coal traffic to/from the washery at Coedbach following the closure of the flood-prone BP&GVR main line to Burry Port in 1983.

Nothing remains today to show the industrial heritage of the railway here, as the branch has been dismantled.

On 20 June 1957 a Royal Air Force Hawker Hunter crashed 200 yards east of station with the death of the pilot.

There is a two-hourly service from the station for most of the day (Mon-Sat), improving to hourly during the morning and evening peak periods.

Stops are provided by both the West Wales/Carmarthen to Manchester Piccadilly and Pembroke Dock to Swansea trains (peak periods and evenings only), though the daily Great Western Railway Carmarthen to London Paddington service also calls eastbound (except Saturdays).
