Pantyffynnon railway station
Pantyffynnon railway station is a railway station serving the village of Pantyffynnon, in Carmarthenshire, West Wales. It is situated on the Heart of Wales Line. Little remains to show the former glories of Pantyffynnon. The original station platforms and footbridge have been razed to the ground. A single platform remains in use with a single remaining building. The other platform remains bare but for weeds with the track lifted. The old Amman Valley branch line through Ammanford and Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen which joined here to the other side of the current platform and is now closed in its entirety along with the yard after the closure of Abernant Colliery. The former railway shed and turntable are also gone, with nothing to reveal their former existance. The junction may soon 2006 be re-instated as EWS has requested that the line is re-instated to serve Tairgwaith Colliery. The Amman Valley Railway Society has also been attempting to reinstate the Amman valley line as a heritage railway although the EWS plans may prevent this in the shorter term.
All trains serving the station are operated by Arriva Trains Wales. There are four trains a day in each direction from Monday to Saturday, and two services on Sundays.
