The line that station was on closed to passengers in 1964 and to freight in the eighties.Most of it’s route is now a road .You would never know there had been a station where my doctors is.
The other line also lost it’s stations in 1964 but remained open.But my town went from five stations to none.
A new Cwmbran Station ,on the other line ,opened in 1986.And has frequent services to West Wales,Manchester and North Wales.
