All trains serving the station are operated by Transport for Wales. For trains travelling south this is a request stop, but those travelling north have to make a mandatory call[1] so that the train driver can press the plunger on the platform that activates the warning lights & barriers at the adjacent level crossing over the A483 prior to departure.[2]
When the original station was replaced, the signal box was saved and can be found on the Gwili Railway at Bronwydd Arms.[3]
