Puncheston railway station served the village of Puncheston, Pembrokeshire, Wales, from 1895 to 1949 on the North Pembrokeshire and Fishguard Railway.

History[]

The station opened on 11 April 1895 by the North Pembrokeshire and Fishguard Railway. It was situated 100 yards east of a minor road. To the west was the goods yard and at the east end was the signal box. A grounds frame was also nearby, which operated the sidings. When the line was amalgamated in 1898 by the GWR, the signal box closed. The station closed on 8 January 1917 to transfer the rails from the line to France during the First World War. It reopened on 14 November 1921 but it was a temporary terminus until Letterston reopened in 1923. It closed to passengers permanently on 25 October 1937^[1] and closed to goods on 16 May 1949. The nearby siding remained in use for W Evans trucks.^[2]
