Facilities


The station is unstaffed and has no permanent buildings (apart from waiting shelters), like neighbouring Llangennech. CIS displays, a customer help point and timetable poster boards provide running information. No step-free access is available to either platform.[1]



Services


There are four trains a day in each direction (towards Swansea and Shrewsbury) from Monday to Saturday, plus an extra a.m peak service to and from Llandovery on weekdays only; there are also two services each way on Sundays.[2] This is a request stop, whereby passengers have to give a hand signal to the approaching train driver to board or notify the guard when they board that they wish to alight from the train there.
