A new station (opened 1980) is the southern terminus of the Brecon Mountain Railway on an adjacent site.
The Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway obtained an Act of Parliament on 1 August 1859 to construct a line between Talybont and Pant.
The station site and trackbed was sold following closure, and today is disused.
When the Brecon Mountain Railway sought to reopen the line, the original station site at Pant was no longer available, and an alternative location was established to the West.
The new station is the southern terminus of the BMR that runs services 5 miles north to Torpantau.
