Tynycwm Halt railway station served the town of Risca, Monmouthshire, Wales, from 1935 to 1962 on the Monmouthshire Railway.

History

The station was opened on 17 April 1935 by the Great Western Railway. It closed on 30 April 1962. I remember travelling daily, with my older sister, sometimes on a GWR Railcar, usually on a two part diesel, to school in Risca from Tyn y Cwm Halt in 1958/9. The return fare was 3d.
