Present day
The station remains as a private residence but both platforms have been filled in and the trackbed forms a garden. The Cambrian Heritage Railway have hopes to reconnect the line from Oswestry to Pant but have run into a problem with completing this due to the trackbed through the former station being a private residence and has led to the CHR waiting to buy the former station building and although part of the section south to Pant has been rebuilt as a heritage railway. This is what has led to the heritage railway being unable to reconnect with the line to Oswestry.
