Llanelly Railway
The Llanelly Railway was a Welsh railway system that became the basis of the present Heart of Wales Line. It was established by Act of Parliament in 1828 and eventually covered a long route.
==Llanelly Dock Company==
The original Llanelly Dock Company was formed by a group of local businessmen who had interests in the Llangennech Coal Company. Previously the coal was transported by small barges or the newer tramroad to wharves on the mouth of the Loughor river at Yspitty Bank where it was stored before loading onto larger seagoing vessels. It was with the prospects of developing the Llangennech coal seams in the Dafen district of Llanelli that a pit was planned by the Llangennech Company. A line would connect with the company's New Dock on Llanelli Flats, with a rope operated incline at the Dafen end to the new St. David's Pit. The Act authorising the construction of the line and dock received the royal assent on 19 June 1828. Problems with the pit delayed the opening of the railway until 1833. The line managed to survive for well over a century and was known simply as the Dafen Branch when it closed in 1963. Some of the route can still be traced. A portion forms a footpath from Trostre Road towards the mainline behind the Llwynwhilwg housing estate whilst a stretch of the M4 link road, which connects Halfway and Dafen is built over the trackbed.
