History
Opened by the Llanelly Railway, the station was absorbed into the London and North Western Railway as part of its ownership of the Central Wales Line. Becoming part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, it passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. Later transferred to the Western Region of British Railways, it was closed by the British Railways Board.
The site today
The site is now lost under a spur of Carmarthen's new bypass road.
