Abergwili Railway Station
History
Opened by the Llanelly Railway, the station was absorbed into the London and North Western Railway as part of its ownership of the Central Wales Line. Becoming part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, it passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. Later transferred to the Western Region of British Railways, it was closed by the British Railways Board.
The site today
The station site remained undeveloped after closure and the platform survived until 1999 when the trackbed was used for the upgrading of the A40 trunk road as part of Carmarthen's eastern bypass. Nothing now remains as the trackbed has been subsumed beneath the new road scheme.
