Carmarthen 1st
(1860 - 1902)
The first Carmarthen station opened on March 1 1860 on the Carmarthen & Cardigan Railway's line from Myrtle Hill. The C & CR were keen to open their line in
sections as it progressed north, and Carmarthen opened as a temporary terminus of a one-mile long branch from the South Wales Railway.
The station did not remain a terminus for long as the line was extended to a new temporary terminus at Conwil on September 3 1860
The station had two facing platforms with the main station building on the down side (facing Newcastle Emlyn) which included a booking office, refreshment room, general waiting room, ladies’ waiting room and parcels office. An external gents’ toilet was located further south along the platform. There was a waiting room on the up platform
The goods yard was located on the west side, to the north of the station, and included a loading dock, 2-ton crane, two weighbridges and three sidings
The station closed to passengers on July 1 1902 when a new station opened to the south of the River Towy. The new station did not require goods facilities because they were retained at the old station which remained open until the early 1980s
