White Hart Halt railway station

White Hart Halt was a short-lived railway halt in South Wales. It was opened by the Great Western Railway on 12 May 1947.[1] It was on the down section of the Pontypridd, Caerphilly and Newport Machen loop line, so only 'down' trains ever stopped there.

The halt had a single ground-level platform with a wooden shelter. It was not staffed.

White Hart Halt closed on 30 June 1952. Little trace remains. The embankment which carried the line is still in existence, but is badly overgrown, making any remaining traces difficult to glimpse.
