Coed Ely railway station served the portion of the Ely Valley around the mining communities of Thomastown and Coed-Ely in south Wales, between 1925 and 1958.
History
The Ely Valley Railway (EVR) opened between Llantrisant and Tonyrefail on 2 August 1860, at first for goods trains only; it served several collieries, and was extended to Penygraig in December 1862.[1] A passenger service between Llantrisant, Tonyrefail and Penygraig was introduced on 1 May 1901,[2] operated by the Great Western Railway (GWR). After the EVR had been absorbed by the GWR, an additional halt was opened at Coed Ely on 13 July 1925;[3][4] it was situated between Llantrisant and Tonyrefail.[5]
The station was closed when passenger services were withdrawn from the Ely Valley line from 9 July 1958.[4]
