History
The station was opened on 14 December 1867 by the Llanelly Railway. It closed on 15 June 1964.[1][2] The line it served has since been converted to a cycling and pedestrian trail.[3]
A public house called The Railway Inn served passengers and locals, and has continued operation despite the closure of the line.[4]
