Junction station on the Aberystwyth and Welsh Coast Railway (Cambrian Railways from 1865 and now known as the Cambrian Coast Line) where the line between Machynlleth and Aberystwyth makes a junction with the northern coast section of the Cambrian Coast Line. The section between Machynlleth and Borth opened in 1863 and the section between Aberdovey and Glandovey Junction opened in 1867 concurrently with the junction station. The station was renamed Dovey Junction in 1904. Although facilities are now greatly reduced and trackwork has been rationalised to a simple junction between two single lines, the station now known as Cyffordd Dyfi/Dovey Junction and both routes are still in operation. A passing loop has been reinstated opposite the Aberystwyth line platform; when visited on 27 August 2010 the loop was not yet in operation.
