Site of Aberfan Station
In common with many of the South Wales valleys, Taff Vale had two railways running through it. This over-provision was actively encouraged by Victorian colliery owners who were keen to encourage competition and thus keep freight rates low. After the Second World War, with both the railways and the coal industry nationalised, this situation was no longer tenable and wherever possible services were concentrated on one line. With the Taff Vale main line just a short distance further east, the line that passed here closed to passengers in 1951 and freight in 1954.
