It served the hamlet of Jordanston, Pembrokeshire, Wales between 1923 and 1964. ==History== The railway line between and (the latter station being renamed Fishguard and Goodwick in 1904) opened on 1 July 1899 as an extension of the line from via , but initially there were no intermediate stations. No intermediate stations were provided either when the Clarbeston Road and Letterston Railway connected into the existing line at Letterston Junction in 1906. Jordanston Halt, situated between Letterston Junction and Fishguard & Goodwick from (measured via Rosebush), opened on 1 October 1923. The halt was close to the top of a 1 in 100 gradient sloping down towards Letterston Junction. Initially there were two platforms, but the double line north of Letterston Junction was singled on 9 March 1958 and the former up platform then served both directions.

On Sundays there was one train to Fishguard Harbour and one to Clarbeston Road.
