Pontsarn Station |

Although a very small station Pontsarn handled tens of thousands of passengers during the summer months. It was THE place to go ,away from the grime and smoke down in Merthyr. All the Chapels and Sunday Schools went to Pontsarn for the annual outing. Special facilities were provided in the large field above the station and opposite the Pontsarn Hotel.It is still used to this day for family picnics but everyone goes by car, not train. |
