Rhyd-y-Saint railway station was situated on the
are said to have met from time to time.Opening in 1908 it was a very simple station with only one short (60 ft) platform on the
Down (north-west) side and a wooden waiting hut. It was an unstaffed request stop with no goods yard or sidings.[3] Access to the station was via a short flight of steps from the minor road passing above the station. A look at any modern or contemporary Ordnance Survey map will show that this, along with the preceding station Ceint
are perhaps two of the most remote on the island.
The station closed in 1930, as did the line itself to passenger trains, and the station building removed. The tracks themselves were taken up in 1953 and very little evidence remains of the station, the overgrown platform being just about visible.[4]
