Background
History
Opened by the Great Western Railway on 18 March 1935 and originally named Abertafol Halt, the station passed on to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. Renamed Abertafol on 6 May 1968, services were suspended from 14 May 1984 due to the deteriorating structural condition of the platform and cost of repairs needed. The station was officially closed by the British Railways Board on 30 September 1985.
Description
Trains on the Cambrian Line pass the site of the former halt. There are no remains of the wooden platform to be seen today. Only the access steps down the cliff from the A493 road are left.
