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.〔Quick, M.

Pembrey is situated 1.5 miles to the west.〔Body, G. ''PSL Field Guide - Railways of the Western Region'', Cambridge: Patrick Stephens, 1983, p. 148.〕 The South Wales Railway amalgamated with the Great Western Railway in 1863 and the broad gauge was replaced by standard gauge in 1872.〔Simmons, J. and Biddle, G. (eds) ''The Oxford Companion to British Railway History''. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1997, p.461〕 Train movements are controlled from a Great Western Railway signal box opened in 1907.〔Kay, P. ''Signalling Atlas and Signal Box Directory - Great Britain and Ireland''. Wallasey: Signalling Record Society, 2010, p.25.〕 ==Train Services== There is an hourly service to Manchester Piccadilly via Swansea, Cardiff Central, Shrewsbury and Crewe.
