Cefn Coed Halt

There seems also to have been a colliery halt at Dillwyn, between Seven Sisters and Crynant, and possibly another which I haven't found a name for but is shown on the 1:25K OS map, at the junction of the incline branch serving coal levels near Coed Du, between Crynant and Cefn Coed

On closer inspection I suspect the incline was a tramway not connected to the main line, but the question about a halt remains.

INFOMATION

Cefn Coed (y Cymmer) Halt was on the nearby line of the Brecon and Merthry Tydfil Junction Railway.....we were still on the line of the Neath and Brecon Railway when you made this posting.
