Conwil formerly Conwyll
(1860 - 1965)
Conwyll Station opened as a temporary terminus of the Carmarthen & Cardigan railway when it was extended from the first temporary terminus at Carmarthen on September 3 1860
The February 1863 Bradshaw shows 9 trains in each direction between Carmarthen Junction and Carmarthen. Only two if them run through to Conwyll,
one mid morning and one mid afternoon. There was no Sunday service to Conwyll
On 28 March 1864, Conwyll became a through station and the name was changed to Conwil
Conwil had a passing loop and two platforms. Passenger facilities were very modest, consisting of a timber station building at the north end of the
down platform; this comprised the booking office and waiting room. The two-storey stationmaster's house was alongside, just beyond the end of the platform
The main goods yard was to the south of the station with another siding to the north. The goods yard included a timber goods shed, 2-ton crane, cattle dock and pens.
The goods yard closed on December 2 1963 and was leased to a tarmac dealer between 1965 and 1973
The stationmaster's house is in private occupation. Both platforms are extant, although overgrown
