Notes: Terminus of a line from Carmarthen. As originally planned it would have been an intermediate station on the Carmarthen - Cardigan Railway but the line never went beyond Newcastle Emlyn. The station remained open for goods traffic long after the passenger service was withdrawn in 1952. There have been a proposal to reinstate a steam service on the line in more recent years but this amounted to nothing.
