The original station at Pyle was opened by the South Wales Railway in 1850. It was relocated in 1876 and amalgamated with the former Llynvi and Ogmore Railway station of 1865. This was closed by the Western Region of British Railways in 1964. As part of the Swanline initiative, the present station was opened about ½ mile west in 1994.^[1]
