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

This is one of the two stations of the railway, along with Rheidol Falls, which has no road access.

[1] A station or halt has existed here since the opening of the line, but with few facilities beyond the provision of a nameboard.

During 2013 the station was considerably enhanced following a grant for rural infrastructure development from the European Union.

The station now has a raised and surfaced platform, fencing, and an ornate station building constructed in the style of architecture employed by the original owners of the railway.
