In October 2019 the bench is a reminder of two former companies. The ornate white letters GWR date the bench to before January 1st 1948, the day the original Great Western Railway ceased to exist when the railways were nationalised. The turquoise colour was the livery of Arriva Trains Wales, the company which formerly managed this station. The railway franchise was taken over by Transport for Wales in October 2018.
