Cross Inn railway station was situated on the line between Treforest and Llantrisant, about half a mile (0.8 km) to the east of Llantrisant village. Typically for this line, the station had a single passenger platform a few goods sidings.[1]

Today

The platform and buildings still exist – although now in private use - alongside the mothballed Pontyclun to Cwm Colliery line over which trains ran regularly until 1984.
