• Source: Aberthin Platform railway station

Aberthin Platform railway station was a short lived Taff Vale Railway station which served Aberthin, a village north east of Cowbridge in the Welsh county of Glamorganshire.




History


Opened by the Taff Vale Railway it only operated for fifteen years. It was one of four stations (all 'platforms') opened on the Cowbridge branch in 1905 in an attempt to develop new traffic on the line. Like the other three 'platforms', Aberthin Platform was a single bare platform, about forty feet in length and was without any form of shelter. It was located about half a mile from the village and was reached by a footpath over the fields.




The site today


The site is now in a field to the west of the village where a track crosses formation of the old railway.
