Gwili Railway, Carmarthenshire, West Wales Newcastle Emlyn closed in 1952 (but see the Teifi Valley Railway) which left only the route between Carmarthen and Aberystwyth. In March 1978, the Gwili became the first standard-gauge preserved railway to operate in Wales when it re-opened a one-mile section of the Carmarthen-Newcastle Emlyn route from its base at Bronwydd Arms, three miles north of Carmarthen. The Gwili is also the home of the Railway Club of Wales, which moved here from Swansea in 1987; the Vale of Neath Railway Society which moved here in 1994; and the Caerphilly Railway Society, which transferred in 1996. members.aol.com /WalesRails/gwil.htm   (1704 words)

Swansea railway station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Although the station was built by the South Wales Railway, which amalgamated with Great Western Railway in 1863, it was not originally on the South Wales Railway trunk line (which was planned to connect London to the ferries to Ireland) and Swansea passengers had to change at Landore, two miles to the north. The station was renovated and extended several times in its lifetime and nothing remains of the original wooden station with a galvanised roof and two platforms. These services are operated by Arriva Trains Wales, many starting from Cardiff or beyond, with the exception of a daily First Great Western service from London Paddington to Carmarthen, and a summer Saturday service from London to Pembroke Dock. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Swansea_railway_station   (623 words)

SABRE - Road Lists - The First 99 - A40 Carmarthen was once a bottleneck as all traffic competed to pass round a gyratory near the railway station. A few miles past here, at the point of two old derelict petrol stations, are some signs almost constantly covered which show the road being closed due to snow. Now, it disappears at Marble Arch, presumably mulitiplexing with the A5 on the Edgware Road before somehow reappearing as the Marylebone flyover (which has no direct access from the Edgware Road). www.sabre-roads.org.uk /roadlists/f99/40.shtml   (690 words)

Carmarthen railway station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Carmarthen railway station is the original station situated south of the river on the edge of Carmarthen. The station and the now demolished main station the other side of the river primarily existed to serve the now closed route from Carmarthen up the coast to Aberystwyth via Lampeter. As a result of this trains calling into the station take a very short detour off the main line up to the now terminus station before turning around and leaving from the same end. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Carmarthen_railway_station   (407 words)
