Carmarthen railway station is on the edge of the town of Carmarthen, Wales, south of the River Towy. It is on the West Wales Line and is managed by Arriva Trains Wales, who operate most of the passenger trains serving it. Great Western Railway also operates a limited service between this station and London Paddington (usually one train each way daily, with additional services on Sundays).
The station is fully staffed, with the ticket office on platform 1 manned all week (Monday - Friday 06:45 - 18:00, Saturday 08:00 - 18:00, Sunday 10:15 - 17:45). A self-service ticket machine is provided for use outside these times and for collecting pre-paid tickets. A buffet and newsagents shop are available here, along with toilets and a waiting room on platform 1; platform 2 has a shelter and bench seating.
