History
editThe station opened in August 1867 to serve the nearby village. The station closed in December 1964 when services were truncated at Strata Florida, following flood damage by the River Ystwyth to the line one mile east of Llanilar. Formal closure was confirmed two months later. In 2017, both platforms survive, together with some of the original spear fencing. The station had a signal box set back from the platform, and a combined waiting room and ticket office. The goods yard had a weighbridge and several sidings.
