text: # Pontygwaith Halt railway station
  
  Pontygwaith Halt railway station served the village of Pontygwaith in South Wales. It was only open for nine years.
  
  ## History and description
  
  Located midway between Wattstown Platform and Tylorstown, the halt had a ground-level platform and an enclosure housing a shelter. The gates were kept locked until a train arrived and the conductor unlocked them. The halt closed in 1914.
  
  ## After closure
  
  Over a century after closure, there is little to show the existence of the halt. The site is little more than an open grassed space, grazed by sheep. The road bridge remains, though is now heavily defaced with graffiti.
