Pengam (Mon) railway station served the village of Pengam, historically in Monmouthshire, Wales, from 1865 to 1962 on the Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway.
History
The station was opened as Pengam on 14 June 1865 by the Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway. Its name was changed to Pengam and Fleur-de-Lis on 1 February 1909, changed to Fleur-de-Lis on 1 July 1924 and changed again to Pengam (Mon) on 29 March 1926[1] to avoid confusion with Fleur-de-Lis Platform, which opened on the same day. The station closed on 31 December 1962,[2][3] although it remained open to goods for a few more years.[4]
