Jersey Marine railway station

Jersey Marine opened in 1895 and closed in 1935^[1] or 1933.^[2] Briton Ferry Road station^[3] lay close by on the Great Western Railway Vale of Neath line.^[4] The R&SBR was absorbed by the Great Western Railway in the Grouping of the railways in 1923 as a result of the Railways Act 1921.

A four-storey octagonal tower stands near the hotel and the station site, built in the Victorian era and designed as a camera obscura at the Jersey Marine holiday resort. Workmen's halts were located to the east at Cape Platform^[5] and at Baldwin's Halt^[6] to the west.

Jersey Marine station had a single platform on the Jersey Marine Hotel side of the line with a single shelter and ticket office. A footpath led from the vicinity of the hotel and its grounds to the platform.^[7][4] A signalbox stood to the west and by 1914 a siding ran parallel to the single track main line.^[4] Jersey Marine South Junction was located nearby. A Jersey Marine North Junction was also present.^[8] The station site has been obliterated by a road overbridge however the line remains open.
