Pannier tank no.6430 waits at Danycoed Halt on the Gwili Steam Railway

Danycoed Halt, which is Welsh for below the trees, was built by the Gwili Railway as a halt designed for the train to run around and couple up to the carriages for the return journey. Opened in 2001 it is the current northern terminus but will be made redundant when the railway will extend one mile north to Cynwyl Elfed station and then further to Llanpumsaint Station.

The station did not exist in British Railways days and currently features a four-coach platform, a typical GWR storage hut and other station furniture such as lamp posts and benches. Just beyond the north end of the platform, a wrought iron girder bridge crosses the River Gwili. The bridge requires repair and thus inhibits immediate progress towards Cynwyl Elfed station.
