Notes
Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road

From 22 June 2020, trains did not call at the station due to the short platform and the inability to maintain social distancing between passengers and the guard when opening the train door.[1] This meant that, in the Office of Rail and Road's statistics, it became one of Britain's least used stations, recording 0 passengers in the year 2020–21. However, the station has since reopened according to Transport for Wales, the train operator which provides services to and from the station.[2]
