By 1963 the line had a passenger service restored by the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway. The station officially reopened on 6 April 1963, however due to damage caused by floods to the Banwy Bridge it was closed between 28 September 1964 and 14 August 1965.
Two platforms are present and a passing loop that sees occasional use. The main platform is raised whilst the other is at ground level.
