Burry Port railway station

It continued to serve the inhabitants of the area near Llanelli between 1909 and 1953 and was one of several basic halts opened on the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway in Carmarthenshire, Wales (Welsh: Cymru).

[2] The line had been built on the course of an old canal with resulting tight curves, low bridge clearance and a tendency to flooding.

The freight service continued for coal traffic on the Cwmmawr branch to Kidwelly until 1996 by which time the last of the local collieries had closed down and the washery closure followed.

[4] The Kidwelly route was used for coal trains, resulting in the lifting of track between Trimsaran Road and Burry Port by 2005.

[1] The section of the old line between Burry Port and Craiglon Bridge Halt is now a footpath and the NCN 4 cyclepath.
