I'm not certain of the sequence of events with the stations in the area, but the station looks relatively recent (possibly 50 years?)

Removed (Aberavon) from infobox. Port Talbot Parkway does not appear to have an official Welsh-language name, and in any case "Aberavon" is an English-language spelling. --

Port Talbot Parkway looks so tiny. Port Talbot Parkway is a very kind of blank station, and you cannot have a refreshment there. I'm just wondering why, but there isn't a cafe there at all. 10:38, 29 December 2007 —Preceding

It is basically an 'island' station on the main line, as the article says. The station building is on the other side of the tracks and links to the island by a bridge. There is no space for a cafe in the station building (really no more than a ticket office) and the only space on the island is taken by a waiting room. I think that it's partly an issue of space and partly that it's so close to the town centre that it's easy enough to get refreshments close by. Why it is still called a 'Parkway' station is beyond me though.
As for its age, there may have been a station there for some time, but I agree with the initial comment that the present structure is fairly recent.
