Llanarthney railway station served the village of Llanarthney, in the historical county of Glamorganshire, Wales, from 1865 to 1963 on the Llanelly Railway.

History[]

The station was opened as Llanarthney on 1 June 1865 by the Llanelly Railway. It was downgraded to a request stop on 1 April 1880 due to a dispute with London North Western Railway but the normal service resumed in June of the same year.[1] The suffix 'halt' was added to its name in 1954. The station closed on 9 September 1963.[2] The site is now a private residence.[3]
