Llanfyrnach railway station served the village of Llanfyrnach, Pembrokeshire, Wales, from 1875 to 1963 on the Whitland and Cardigan Railway.

History[]

The station was opened on 12 July 1875 by the Whitland and Taf Vale Railway. It was situated north of a junction between two minor roads. The first station only had a wooden building. A new station was built in 1886. This had a stone building which was the stationmaster's house as well as a booking office and a waiting room. Two goods sheds were behind the platform and at the south end of the station was the signal box. This was later replaced by a ground frame in a wood cabin. At the north end was the goods yard which had two sidings and was controlled by the signal box. The north siding served a cattle dock. The nearby Llanfyrnach supplied some goods traffic to the station until it closed. The station closed to passengers on 10 September 1962^[1] but remained open to goods traffic (besides parcels) until 27 May 1963.^[2]
