Currently (early 2014) for freight only, the track alongside the former station http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3840712 continues to Hirwaun about 7km away. It was announced in March 2011 that the Welsh Assembly Government's 2011-2012 capital programme would include the reopening of this line for passenger services as part of the Cynon Valley Scheme. However, there was no sign of any such work in progress nearby.
