Passenger services are operated by Transport for Wales. It is a request stop for southbound trains only - those heading towards Shrewsbury have to stop here so that the train crew can activate the controls for the adjacent half barrier level crossing.[1]
History
The station garden in 1997
The station is tended to by the Dolau Station Action Group, who has decorated the platform with plants, flowers, a wooden waiting shelter and clock. The shelter houses a guestbook as well as the awards the station has received. Queen Elizabeth II unveiled a plaque at the station in 2002 commemorating her visit during the Golden Jubilee visit to Wales.[2]
Formerly known as Dolau Halt, the suffix was dropped in 1969.
Facilities
Like most other stations on the route, it has been fitted with a digital information screen and customer help point to provide train running details. It also has a bicycle rack and payphone.[3]
Services
It is served by five trains each direction Monday to Saturday (plus a sixth northbound service on weekdays only) and two trains each direction on Sundays.[4]
