A complex series of negotiations took place in the early 1900s, resulting in the horse tramway being converted to an electric tramway. Standard gauge horse trams were run initially, until the company completed North Dock power station, which supplied electricity to the tramway.

This period corresponded with a downturn in profitability, and the system was sold to the South Wales Transport Company, with a view to closing it down.

It ran from a terminus at Woodend, along Stepney Street, Cowell Street, Murray Street, where there was a depot for the tramcars, and Station Road to reach the <a href="/wiki/Great_Western_Railway" title="Great Western Railway">Great Western Railway</a> <a href="/wiki/Llanelli_railway_station" title="Llanelli railway station">station</a>. The total length was 0.97 miles (1.56 km) and it used a gauge of <span class="nowrap">3 ft</span> (<span class="nowrap">914 mm</span>), which was unusual for tramways in Britain. The choice of gauge may have been made in an attempt to prevent horse buses running along the tops of the rails, but a local horse bus operator called James Andrews did just that, using an Andrews Patent Omnibus. The company took legal action to prevent him from doing so in 1883, but lost the case. Few details of the trams survive, but three single deck saloons were built for the opening of the tramway, although the manufacturer is unknown, and two more were acquired later.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTETurner1996176–177_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETurner1996176–177-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1900, the Llanelly & District Electric Lighting and Traction Company was formed, with a view to building an electric tramway in the town. Little progress was made initially, but 1905 saw the start of a complex set of negotiations, which resulted in the transformation of the tramway. The British Power Company, which had formerly been known as the South Wales Electrical Power Distribution Company, bought the Llanelly Tramway for £6,000. It also bought the Traction Company, although it was virtually defunct by this time. In November 1905, British Power applied for a Light Railway Order, under the terms of the <a href="/wiki/Light_Railways_Act_1896" title="Light Railways Act 1896">Light Railways Act 1896</a>, which they eventually obtained in 1907. They employed the contractors J G White & Company in early 1908, to start extending and converting the tramway. The horse trams are known to have run in March 1908, but the service was steadily reduced as the rails were lifted and laid to a wider gauge.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTETurner1996177_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETurner1996177-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>During the contract to upgrade the tramway, two of White's employees were <a href="/wiki/George_Balfour_(Conservative_politician)" title="George Balfour (Conservative politician)">George Balfour</a> and Andrew Beatty. They both became directors of the Llanelly Tramway in January 1908, and a year later founded the construction company <a href="/wiki/Balfour_Beatty" title="Balfour Beatty">Balfour Beatty</a>. Balfour Beatty gave support to the Llanelly & District Electric Lighting and Traction Company financially, who then became the operator of the new tramway.

They ran along Sandy Road and Pwll Road to Pwll in the west; along Felinfoel Road to Felinfoel in the north; and along Park Street and Swansea Road to Bynea in the east. This increased the route mileage to 6.23 miles (10.03 km), all of it single track with passing loops. To convey the passengers, ten open-top double deck trams were ordered from the <a href="/wiki/United_Electric_Car_Company" title="United Electric Car Company">United Electric Car Company</a> of Preston. They began operating on 12 June 1911 on three of the four routes, with services on the line from Woodend to Pwll commencing on 16 July 1911. Although this final part of the system was not completed at the time, an opening ceremony was held on 16 July. There was sufficient demand for the service that four more trams were purchased from the United Electric Car Company in 1912.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTETurner1996177_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETurner1996177-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>During the First World War, the company borrowed two tramcars from <a href="/wiki/Mansfield_%26_District_Light_Railways" class="mw-redirect" title="Mansfield & District Light Railways">Mansfield & District Light Railways</a>, which was another tramway system owned by Balfour Beatty. In order to replace these, two new open top double deck trams were bought from Preston in 1920. The United Electric Car Company had been taken over and were part of <a href="/wiki/English_Electric" title="English Electric">English Electric</a> at the time. In 1924 the Llanelly & District Electric Lighting and Traction Company changed its name, becoming the Llanelly & District Electric Supply Company, and within a few years, plans had been formulated to replace the trams with trolleybuses. The powers to enable this to happen were the subject of the Llanelly & District Traction Act 1930. The Bynea route was the first to see trolleybuses, when they took over from the trams on 26 December 1932, and the rest of the tramway system had been converted by 16 February 1933.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTETurner1996177_3-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETurner1996177-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The tramcars were sold to Messrs Zammit, who removed the wheels and loaded the bodies onto lorries, to convey them to their yard. They were subsequently sold off or scrapped. The rails remained in the roads, but were a hazzard to pedestrians and cyclists. This was highlighted by the plight of George Brown, a 14-year-old cyclist from Park Crescent. The wheels of his bike became trapped in the gutter of the redundant tram rails, and he was thrown into the path of a trolleybus and killed.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEJohn2019_5-0" class="reference"><a

<a href="/wiki/House_of_Lords" title="House of Lords">House of Lords</a> in January 1930, and Royal Assent for the Llanelly & District Traction Act 1930 was received on 10 July. Additional powers contained in the Act included several extensions of the network, and a time limit of five years in which to complete the project. There was a delay in carrying out the work, due to an economic downturn, but by 26 December 1932 seven of the initial batch of 14 Leyland trolleybuses had arrived at the depot, and were put to work on the same day, inaugurating trolleybus services on the route to Bynea. There were more delays in getting the system completed, but a final inspection took place on 13 February 1933, and trolleybuses began running to Pwll and Felinfoel four days later. In view of the piecemeal way in which the system had been brought into operation, plans for a formal opening ceremony were shelved.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEJoyceKingNewman198683_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJoyceKingNewman198683-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The fleet was supplemented by three Guy BTX three-axle double deck vehicles in 1935, two of which had previously worked on various systems as demonstrators. The company returned to Guys in 1937, when they purchased three twin-axle trolleybuses. The route mileage was 8.38 miles (13.49 km), as the route to Felinfoel had been extended a little past the original tram terminus, and the Bynea route had been extended to Loughor Bridge, where a turning circle had been installed, rather than a reverser, as at Felinfoel and Pwll. In 1942, a turning circle was added at Felinfoel, when a new motor factory opened, and at some point, a turning circle was constructed at the station and in the town centre. Short workings were made possible by constructing reversers at Pemberton and Bynea on the Loughor Bridge route, though the one at Pemberton was subsequently turned into a turning circle, and another was added at Llwyn Hendre for the Trostre steelworks traffic.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEJoyceKingNewman198683_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEJoyceKingNewman198683-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Plans were drawn up for extensions to the system, and the Llanelly District Traction Act 1936 gave the company powers to extend the Pwll line to <a href="/wiki/Burry_Port" title="Burry Port">Burry Port</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pembrey" title="Pembrey">Pembrey</a>, but the powers were never used. Changes occurred in 1947 when the <a href="/wiki/Electricity_Act_1947" title="Electricity Act 1947">Electricity Act 1947</a> was passed, which nationalised the electricity supply industry in England, Scotland and Wales on 1 April 1948. The Llanelly trolleybus system was unusual, in that it was one of the few privately owned systems, as it was part of the Llanelli & District Electric Supply Company, who also owned the North Dock power station. The trolleybuses therefore became the responsibility of the fledgling <a href="/wiki/South_Wales_Electricity_Board" class="mw-redirect" title="South Wales Electricity Board">South Wales Electricity Board</a>. At around that time, they ceased to be profitable, and the South Wales Electricity Board looked to dispose of their newly acquired asset in 1951. The Ministry of Transport agreed that they could sell the system to the South Wales Transport Company, who intended to close the system down, and the Llanelly District Transport Act 1952 authorised the agreement. The sale became effective on 20 March 1952, and the final trolleybus ran on 8 November 1952.
