It is an intermediate station and request stop on the preserved Vale of Rheidol Railway.

The station has operated throughout the history of the railway, except for a short closure during World War Two.

The original station waiting shelter was demolished by British Rail.

Following the provision of grant money from the European Union for rural community infrastructure investment,[1] the station was considerably developed during 2013, and now has a raised-level and surfaced platform, fencing, and an attractive period (replica) station building.

The car park area has been developed, and the site landscaped.
