The route of the line went from Pontypridd town centre to Treforest railway station. There was a branch line connecting to Cilfynydd, which was worked as a single route via Pontypridd.
From July 1919 until December 1927 there was through running onto the neighbouring system of the Rhondda Tramways Company.
