Ammanford railway station in Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, Wales, is {{convert|12|mi}} north of Swansea on the Heart of Wales Line. The station opened in 1841 as a temporary terminus of the Llanelly Railway's line to Llandeilo, making it one of the country's earliest railway stations. Originally called Duffryn,[1] and then Tirydail, the station underwent a number of name changes before being renamed Ammanford and Tirydail in 1960 following the closure in 1958 of Ammanford station on the Amman Valley branch railway. In 1973, it became Ammanford. The station stands at street level about {{cvt|800|m|yd}} northwest of Ammanford town centre on Station Road. At some point between 1891 and 1906 the passenger platform was moved from the north to the south side of the level crossing.[2] As with most of the stations on the Heart of Wales Line, the original station buildings and signal box have been demolished and now the only structures are a platform and shelter. HistoryOpened by the Llanelly Railway on 6 May 1841, the station was taken over jointly by the Great Western Railway and London and North Western Railway in 1873. It became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway as a result of the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed, upon nationalisation of the railways in 1948, to the Western Region of British Railways. Under British Rail sectorisation from the 1980s until railway privatisation, Ammanford station was served by Regional Railways. The station appears several times and is mentioned by name in the 1951 Festival of Britain film, David. It also had a passing loop until 1966, but this was removed when the line's signalling was simplified and many of the intermediate signal boxes closed. FacilitiesAmenities at the station are basic (despite it being one of the largest towns served on the route), with no ticket provision of any kind (these must be bought on the train or prior to travel). As well as the aforementioned shelter and a bicycle rack, there is a customer help point at the station entrance and a digital CIS display to provide real-time train running information.[3] Northbound trains must stop here in order for the train crew to activate the controls for the half-barrier level crossing,[4] but for southbound trains it is a request stop.[5] ServicesAll trains serving the station are operated by Transport for Wales. There are four trains a day to {{stnlnk|Shrewsbury}} northbound from Monday to Saturday (plus a fifth to {{stnlnk|Llandovery}}) and five southbound to {{stnlnk|Llanelli}} and {{stnlnk|Swansea}} (the first train in each direction does not run on Saturdays); two services each way call on Sundays.[5] References1. ^Railway Stations Pantyffynnon to Llandeilo on the Town of Ammanford website 2. ^Old Maps {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120430134621/http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html |date=30 April 2012 }} 3. ^Ammanford station facilities National Rail Enquiries 4. ^[https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3996659 Ammanford railway station (2014)] Thompson, Nigel Geograph.org.uk; Retrieved 24 July 2017 5. ^1 GB eNRT December 2018 Edition, Table 129 (Network Rail) External links
