}}Treforest High Level railway station was located north of Llantwit Road in Treforest. The station consisted of two platforms with four lines - two central running lines while the platforms were on loops at this point.[1]

History

The station was opened by the Barry Railway on 16 March 1896.[2]

The Barry Railway was amalgamated with the Great Western Railway on 1 January 1922, along with the Taff Vale Railway (TVR) and several others;[3] and the station was renamed Treforest High Level on 1 July 1924, to avoid confusion with the former TVR station, which had also been named Treforest, and which was renamed {{stnlnk|Treforest Low Level}} at the same time.[2]

The station consisted of two platforms on the outer of the four tracks running through the station.

Passenger services along the former Barry line north of Tonteg Junction were diverted via {{stnlnk|Pontypridd Central}} (also on the former TVR) and Treforest Low Level from 10 July 1930, and Treforest High Level station was closed.[2]

A signal box existed here and that was closed on 15 March 1934. The line from Trehafod to Tonteg Junction (and the Barry line as a whole) was closed in June 1951 and taken out of use on 9 February 1958.

The up line between here and Tonteg Junction was closed temporarily for the storage of engines between October 1943 and September 1944.

Modern Day

Nothing remains of this station and the site is occupied by a police vehicle maintenance depot. The main entrance was however situated approximately at the end of

Hilda Street, Trefforest - some steps still remain.
