Llanio station platform is over 300 feet long. In the distance is a stone, goods shed that was never connected to the railway. The station was opened in 1871, the creamery opened in 1896 and in 1937 another building was erected, that is now very dilapidated. Passenger traffic ceased to run from 22 February 1965, milk trains continued to run from the sidings until October 1970 when all trains north of Aberaeron Junction were withdrawn but milk trains continued to run to Green Grove Creamery, Felin Fach until September 1973. In 2014, members of Traws Link Cymru were allowed access to the platform and yard area to clear tree and scrub growth (taken from the February 2015 issue of The Grapevine, a free magazine about Lampeter and its environs). Traws Link Cymru is a campaign to reinstate rail links in west Wales. The proposals are for there to be rail links between Carmarthen and Aberystwyth and between Afon Wen on the Cambrian Coast Line and Bangor to create a rail corridor along the west coast of Wales http://www.trawslinkcymru.org.uk/
