Wattstown Platform railway station was a short-lived railway station on the now-disused Maerdy Branch in South Wales.




History and description


The Wattstown goods depot opened in 1885, but a passenger facility did not follow until 1905. The station was not successful, and closed after just fifteen years. Goods activities continued until 7 October 1963. No trace of the station remains, with the trackbed having been used for the construction of the A4233.
The site of the goods depot (ST019937) is now occupied by a builder's merchant.
