Pembrey and Burry Port railway station is a railway station on the West Wales Line serving Pembrey and Burry Port, in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It was opened by the broad gauge South Wales Railway on 11 October 1852 when that company extended its route from Landore (Swansea) to Carmarthen. It is adjacent to Burry Port's main shopping area. Pembrey is situated 1.5 miles to the west.
The South Wales Railway amalgamated with the Great Western Railway in 1863 and the broad gauge was replaced by standard gauge in 1872.
Train movements are controlled from a Great Western Railway signal box opened in 1907.
There is an hourly service to Manchester Piccadilly via Swansea, Cardiff Central, Shrewsbury and Crewe. A similar frequency operates on Sundays, but trains don't start running until late morning.
In the other direction there is an hourly service to Carmarthen, running either non-stop or stopping at Kidwelly and Ferryside, with a two-hourly extension to Milford Haven via Whitland and Haverfordwest. The extensions to Milford Haven are at 07:17, 09:24, 11:22, 13:22, 15:24, 17:29 and 19:31.
