It continued to serve the inhabitants of the area between 1909 and 1953 and was one of several basic halts opened on the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway in Carmarthenshire, Wales.
[2] The line had been built on the course of an old canal with resulting tight curves, low bridge clearance and a tendency to flooding.
The freight service continued for coal traffic on the Cwmmawr branch to Kidwelly until 1996 by which time the last of the local collieries had closed down and the washery closure followed.
The halt lay slightly to the north of the road bridge and was close to the village centre; the station had no public sidings.
The Kidwelly route was used for coal trains, resulting in the lifting of track between Trimsaran Road and Burry Port by 2005.
