Briton Ferry West Railway Station

Briton Ferry West railway station served the town of Briton Ferry, in the historical county of Glamorganshire, Wales, from 1895 to 1935 on the South Wales Railway.

History

The station was opened as Briton Ferry on 2 September 1850 by the South Wales Railway. Its name was changed to Briton Ferry West on 1 July 1924 to distinguish it from Briton Ferry East. It closed on 8 July 1935, being replaced by the newer Briton Ferry station to the north.
