The structure is part of a £11 million regeneration project at the station, which is included in Network Rail's £40 billion Railway Upgrade Plan.
Features include a new ticket office, waiting area, customer facilities and CCTV equipment, as well as steps and lift access to all platforms.
Welsh Transport Minister Edwina Hart said: "I welcome the completion of this stage of the improvement works at Port Talbot Parkway Station, which has received some £3m of Welsh Government funding.

"The railway is vital for people to access jobs and services. We want stations in Wales to be accessible to all and pleasant places to be. This project is another example of how we are investing to make this happen and I look forward to seeing the project being fully completed."
Aberavon Assembly Member David Rees, added: "I am delighted that we now have a modern, accessible railway station that offers improved facilities to the people of Port Talbot. The building reflects the industrial strength of the town through its use of steel from TATA and provides a warm welcome to all travellers."
The stations transformation continues and the project is expected to be completed over the coming months.
