Llanelly Railway Station was opened in 1852 by the South Wales Railway. The SWR was taken over by the Great Western Railway in 1863. From around 1966 the station was renamed Llanelli/Llanelly and later just Llanelli.
Following the closure of Swansea Victoria Station (nprn 34874) in 1964, Llanelly Station became the southern terminus of the Central Wales Line (nprn 291119) until 1970 when the service was extended to Swansea High Street Station (nprn 409587).
