Pembroke Dock
(1864 - )
Pembroke Dock station was opened on August 8 1864 by the Pembroke and Tenby Railway as an extension of their route from Pembroke to serve the Royal Navy dockyard in the town, though it was not until
1866 that the P&T route finally reached the main line at Whitland
Originally, the station had two platforms. Both remain but only the southern one is in use (the track serving the other has now been removed)
Part of the main building has been converted into The Station Inn, a real ale pub. Originally carrying munitions, the freight branch ran past the station across local streets down
to the actual dockside until 1969. Subsequently, albeit partially, the track has been lifted
The station is unstaffed; ticket machine is installed; CIS displays provide train running information in addition to the standard timetable poster boards and public telephone.
The station canopies remain to provide a covered waiting area with bench seating. There are no waiting rooms
There is a regular daily service to/from Swansea via Whitland, with some through trains to/from Cardiff Central and Manchester
