[2] The Mid-Wales line passenger service was withdrawn on 31 December 1962, though trains to and from this route latterly started and terminated at Moat Lane Junction.

Services to Oswestry and Whitchurch via the former O&NR Cambrian main line ended in January 1965, when the route east of Buttington closed to passenger traffic as a consequence of the Beeching cuts.

The station has one west facing bay platform/siding which is periodically used as a storage point for Network Rail's departmental trains.

There is a Transport for Wales appointed "Station Agent" with full ticket issuing facilities in the main building.

Train running information is provided by digital CIS displays, automatic announcements and customer help points on both platforms.
