Services were suspended in September 1939 but they resumed in December 1940. It was advertised as a workman's station but still continued to carry passengers. It closed to commercial services on 2 May 1960 and the last unadvertised train called here on 6 May 1960.[1] As in 2024 the booking office and goods shed now form part of the Dowlais Leisure Centre.[2]
