Ammanford railway station, serves the town of Ammanford, West Wales. The station was opened as "Duffryn" in 1841 as a temporary terminus of the Llanelly Railway line to Llandeilo and the branch to Crosshands making it one of the earliest railway stations. The station has had several changes of name over the years. It is located is 39 km (24½ miles) north of Swansea on the Heart of Wales Line.
The railway station is located at street level near the centre of the town at Station Road. As with most of the stations on the Heart of Wales Line the original rather elegant station buildings and signal box were levelled and replaced with a modern shelter.
History
Opened by the Llanelly Railway, then by the London and North Western Railway, it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on to the Western Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980's, the station was served by Regional Railways until the Privatisation of British Railways.
ervices
All trains serving the station are operated by Arriva Trains Wales. There are four trains a day in each direction from Monday to Saturday, and two services on Sundays.
