Passengers are advised by Transport for Wales to use the station about 7 mins up the road from Ty Glas station at Birchgrove until the work at Ty Glas is finished.

The Coryton branch Line is a single-track, though unlike other stations on the branch, Ty Glas has entrances at both the north and south of the station; access from the south requires passengers to cross the track to reach the platform sited on the north side of the track.
