History

Opened by the LNWR on 6 May 1867,[2] as part of the company's Central Wales Extension Railway project, it is the location of one of the route's five remaining passing loops. The loop points and associated indicators were replaced as part of a £5 million project by Network Rail to renew all five loops on the line in 2010.
Facilities
The main buildings on the northbound platform still stand and whilst the station is now unstaffed (tickets must be bought on the train), a waiting room is not available within this building, a shelter near the main building is available. The main building is now run by Llanwrtyd Wells Community Transport (LWCT), who use it as a community centre and meeting rooms. A public phone and customer help point is available on this side, whilst the southbound platform has a waiting shelter only. Digital information screens and timetable posters provide train running details. Step-free access is available to both platforms, though the southbound one requires the use of a steeply inclined ramp.[3]
Services
There are five trains a day in each direction - southbound to Swansea and northbound to Template:Rws from Monday to Saturday, and two services on Sundays.[4] It is the crossover point where some northbound and southbound services meet (except on Sundays), and where train crews can swap between trains.
