Llansamlet railway station is a minor station in Llansamlet, Swansea, south Wales. The station is located below street level at Frederick Place in Peniel Green, {{convert|212|miles|8|chain|km|0|lk=in}} from {{stn|London Paddington}} (via Stroud).^[1] It is served by local trains operated by Transport for Wales on the South Wales Main Line between Swansea and Cardiff.

Facilities

The station has two (offset) platforms:

Platform 1, situated east of the Frederick Place overbridge, is for westbound trains towards Swansea
Platform 2, situated west of the bridge, is for eastbound trains towards Cardiff Central

As the station is unmanned, passengers boarding must buy their tickets on the train. There is a free car park for rail passengers. Waiting shelters, timetable poster boards and digital CIS displays are provided on each side. Step-free access is available via ramps to both platforms.^[2]

Services

Journey times are around 10 minutes to Swansea and one hour to Cardiff.

At present Llansamlet is served by a train every two hours in both directions on weekdays, with a few westbound trains extended to {{rws|Llanelli}} or {{rws|Carmarthen}}.^[3] But no trains at present call on a Sunday. A normal service operates on most Bank Holidays.
