HistoryThe station was located on an embankment beside the road leading to St Mary's Well Bay.[1] It had two platforms linked by a metal footbridge, with a substantial stone building on the 'down' side, and a smaller wooden shelter on the other. The signal box opened in 1893. Lavernock was well-used until the mid-20th century. In 1922, it saw 14 passenger trains each weekday. Five of these were railmotor services. Patronage deteriorated in the postwar years. By 1960, the station was classified as a halt (though the name did not appear on the nameboards), and the larger waiting room had been demolished. The signal box closed on 23 January 1963, and goods traffic ended on 7 October.[2] The station closed on 6 May 1968. The site is now privately owned. The platforms still exist, and the old goods shed still stands. It is owned by a private firm, and has been maintained in a good condition.[3] An old workman's hut still exists, but is now in a very poor condition.[4] {{Disused Rail Start}}{{rail line|previous=Lower Penarth|next=Swanbridge|route=Great Western RailwayTaff Vale|col=FF0000}}{{s-end}} References1. ^Hall, M.
