Aberdare Low Level railway station served the village of Aberdare in South Wales. Opened by the Taff Vale Railway, it became part of the Great Western Railway during the Grouping of 1923. Passing to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, it was then closed by the British Railways Board.

[edit] The site today

Aberdare is now served by Aberdare railway station, a new station opened on the site of the former high level station in 1988.
