Llanelli railway station is the railway station serving the town of Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is located on the West Wales Line and the Heart of Wales Line 11 1⁄4 miles (18.1 km) west of Swansea by rail. The station, and the majority of trains calling at it, are operated by Arriva Trains Wales. It is located between two Level Crossings (known as East and West) that were previously upgraded in the 1970s. More recently (2015) Network Rail has carried out a further upgrade which saw the control of these level crossings pass from the Grade-II listed Llanelli West signal box (which worked the two crossings here only since 1973) to Port Talbot Panel Signal Box using CCTV.
The station is staffed, with the ticket office on platform 2 manned part-time each day except Sundays (Monday - Friday 06:10 - 12:40, Saturday 07:00 - 13:30). A self-service ticket machine is provided for use outside these times and for collecting advance purchase/pre-paid tickets. The main buildings on this platform also house a newsagents shop, toilets, help point and post box. Platform 1 has canopies, bench seating and a customer help point. Digital CIS displays, timetable posters and automated announcements provide train running information. The platforms are linked by a footbridge with steps, but level access is possible to both platforms using the east level crossing and nearby road.
Arriva Trains Wales operate an approximately hourly service in each direction along the West Wales Line, from Manchester Piccadilly and Cardiff Central via Swansea to Carmarthen, with two-hourly extensions to Milford Haven. There is a separate (roughly two-hourly service) between Swansea and Pembroke Dock via Tenby that calls, along with the twice-daily service to and from Fishguard Harbour that runs to connect with the ferry to/from Rosslare.
