Tenby railway station
Tenby railway station serves the town of Tenby in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It lies on the Pembroke Dock branch of the West Wales Line operated by the TOC Arriva Trains Wales, who also manage the station.
==History==
The first station at Tenby was opened by the Pembroke and Tenby Railway as the terminus of a line from the Pembroke direction on 6 August 1863,.〔''Quick, M. Passenger Railway Stations in Great Britain, A Chronology''. Oxford: Railway and Canal Historical Society, 2009, p. 377.〕 This terminus station was low-lying and when the decision was made to extend the line to Whitland, a new railway was constructed from the existing Pembroke and Tenby line, at a point called Black Rock Junction, which then climbed to the higher level necessary for the extension.〔Parker, R., ''The Railways of Pembrokeshire''. Southampton: Noodle Books, 2008, p.41.〕 The new Tenby station was opened on 4 September 1866.〔Quick, p.377.〕 The original station was then used for freight traffic and became known as "Tenby Lower Yard".〔Parker, p.43〕〔Cooke, R.A. ''Atlas of the Great Western Railway'', Didcot: Wild Swan, 1988, map 124.〕 It was closed and removed in 1965.〔Parker, p.255〕
The present station buildings date from 1871 and were designed by James Szlumper and built in Bath stone. The original cast iron canopy is still in place.〔Lloyd, T., Orbach, J. and Scourfield, R. ''The Buildings of Wales - Pembrokeshire''. London: Yale University Press, 2004, pp. 475-6.〕
To the north of the station is a viaduct carrying the Whitland extension line. It has seven arches and is 136 yards (125 metres) in length. It is a Grade II listed structure.〔Biddle, G. ''Britain's Historic Railway Buildings''. Oxford: Oxford University Pressm 2003, p. 593.〕
