Cwm railway station was originally opened by the Monmouthshire Railway on 19 April 1852; the Monmouthshire Railway was later absorbed by the Great Western Railway, and so the station passed to British Railways, which closed it on 30 April 1962.[1]
A new station on the Ebbw Valley Railway, which would serve the community of Cwm, South Wales is proposed. Planning permission has not yet been granted, and the station was not included in the first stage of the line reopening plan, which created a passenger service between Cardiff Central and Ebbw Vale Parkway in 2008.
