The site today

Trains on the reopened Ebbw Vale Line pass the site between {{rws|Llanhilleth}} and {{rws|Ebbw Vale Parkway}} stations, although the station has not been re-opened (the platforms are still intact but disused).

The mooted extension of the railway line to {{rws|Abertillery}} would involve relaying the line from Aberbeeg that was lifted in the early 1990s.^[1]
