Trains to Llandeilo - Station Details and further Information on Llandeilo Train Services
Llandeilo train station (formerly "Landilo Junction for the Carmarthen Line") serves the village of Llandeilo, West Wales. The station is 30.75 miles north east of Swansea on the Heart of Wales Line. The station is located below the eastern side of the town beside the River Tywi. Dinefwr Castle is within walking distance.
The station was built by the Llanelly Railway, who reached the town from the Llanelli direction in 1852. An extension on to Llandovery was constructed by the subsidiary Vale of Towy Railway (opening in 1858), whilst the branch line to Carmarthen followed in 1865.
In its heyday, the station had four platforms serving trains for the Heart of Wales line as well as trains from Carmarthen via the Llandeilo - Abergwili Jcn branch line (closed in 1963). The direct line to Swansea Victoria has also gone and the surviving passenger trains now run via the old Llanelly Railway and the South Wales main line.
The station building has been demolished, and it now has only one platform in use as the passing loop here has been temporarily decommissioned (i.e locked out of use). The second platform still stands and will be reinstated along with the loop when the points at both ends are replaced.
All trains serving the station are operated by Arriva Trains Wales. There are four trains a day in each direction southbound to Swansea and northbound to Shrewsbury from Monday to Saturday, and two services on Sundays. |
