In February 2016, I was amused to hear a recorded message begin "The next train to arrive at Platform 1..." because there is only one platform now, alongside the West Wales Line at Johnston railway station, used by trains in both directions. In 1988, the West Wales Line south of Clarbeston Road station was reduced from double track to single track. The platform at Johnston for southbound trains was thereby taken out of use.
