March 1969</figcaption></figure> <p>Before the arrival of the railway, due to the local rivers, Pontarddulais was already a noted local industrialised town, with two mills and two factories in existence, alongside home-based woollen looms. </p><p>The station was built in 1840 on the original <a href="/wiki/Llanelly_Railway" title="Llanelly Railway">Llanelly Railway (LR)</a> main line, from <a href="/wiki/Llanelli_railway_station" title="Llanelli railway station">Llanelli</a> to <a href="/wiki/Llandovery_railway_station" title="Llandovery railway station">Llandovery</a>. There a direct connection was made with the <a href="/wiki/Central_Wales_Railway" class="mw-redirect" title="Central Wales Railway">Central Wales Railway</a>, which along with other lines was controlled by the <a href="/wiki/London_and_North_Western_Railway" title="London and North Western Railway">London and North Western Railway (LNWR)</a>, enabling the LNWR to connect the South Wales coast with industrialised Northwest England, via <a href="/wiki/Craven_Arms_railway_station" title="Craven Arms railway station">Craven Arms</a>, <a href="/wiki/Shrewsbury" title="Shrewsbury">Shrewsbury</a> and <a href="/wiki/Crewe" title="Crewe">Crewe</a>. </p><p>In 1868, the LR made the mistake of not renewing its right to the lease of the Vale of Towy. The LNWR subsequently negotiated a track-access agreement with the LR, enabling it to gain running powers to <a href="/wiki/Llandeilo_railway_station" title="Llandeilo railway station">Llandeilo</a>, which helped the LNWR's strategic plan to reach the South Wales coast and hence break into <a href="/wiki/Great_Western_Railway" title="Great Western Railway">Great Western Railway (GWR)</a> territory. The completed Central Wales line was opened in June 1868. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="LNWR_dispute,_and_junction_development"><span id="LNWR_dispute.2C_and_junction_development"></span>LNWR dispute, and junction development</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pontarddulais_railway_station&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: LNWR dispute, and junction development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>From 1 July 1871, the LNWR was granted by the LR running-rights onwards into Llanelli. This enabled the LNWR to then reverse its trains at Llanelli, and run under agreement with the GWR into Swansea via the <a href="/wiki/South_Wales_Main_Line" title="South Wales Main Line">South Wales Main Line</a>. </p><p>However, the LR and LNWR ran into a legal dispute over payments, and eventually the LR approached the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Lords" title="House of Lords">House of Lords</a> to cancel the agreement. The LNWR counter-sued by proposing taking over the entire LR line, arguing that the "success" of the LR was only to be found in the development of the Central Wales route. The House of Lords agreed with the LNWR, and a subsequent 1873 an <a href="/wiki/Act_of_Parliament" class="mw-redirect" title="Act of Parliament">Act of Parliament</a> authorised the Llandeilo to Carmarthen and Llandeilo to Swansea sections of the LR to become a separate company, to be called the <b>Swansea and Carmarthen Railway</b>. Subsequently, transferred to the LNWR, they amalgamated the line into a new company called the <b>Central Wales and Carmarthen Junction Railway</b>, with the LR retaining running powers over its own ex-mainline. </p><p>Now reverted and restricted to its original Llanelli to Llandovery route, from 1 January 1873 the GWR took over the operation of the remaining LR section, running passenger trains to Llandovery as a branch from Llanelli - an arrangement which continued until 1964 when the steam hauled services ended. The LNWR wanted direct running access rights into <a href="/wiki/Swansea_Docks" class="mw-redirect" title="Swansea Docks">Swansea Docks</a>, and hence began construction of direct line via the <a href="/wiki/Gower_peninsula" class="mw-redirect" title="Gower peninsula">Gower peninsula</a>. This direct line opened in 1866/7 and terminated for passengers at <a href="/wiki/Swansea_Victoria_railway_station" title="Swansea Victoria railway station">Swansea Victoria</a>, turning the original station at Pontarddulais into a junction with four platforms. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Industrial_period:_1850s-1950s">Industrial period: 1850s-1950s</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Pontarddulais_railway_station&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Industrial period: 1850s-1950s"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>With better connections and an ample supply of natural resources, from the mid-1800s the town became highly industrialised, through both the extraction of coal, but mainly the development of various competing <a href="/wiki/Tinplate" title="Tinplate">tinplate</a> works. By 1910 there were six works across the area, with workers coming from as far away as <a href="/wiki/Italy" title="Italy">Italy</a>, resulting in the GWR connecting its freight bypass route the <a href="/wiki/Swansea_District_Line" class="mw-redirect" title="Swansea District Line">Swansea District Line</a> just to the south of Pontarddulais in 1912.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The entire line was taken over by the <a href="/wiki/Western_Region_of_British_Railways" title="Western Region of British Railways">Western Region of British Railways</a> post-Nationalisation in 1946, although the LNWR influence remained through the hauling of Crewe-Swansea through trains wholly by LMS locomotives, especially the <a href="/wiki/LMS_Black_5" class="mw-redirect" title="LMS Black 5">LMS Black 5</a>. In the 1950s, new large-scale tinplate works were established in nearby <a href="/wiki/Trostre_Steelworks" title="Trostre Steelworks">Trostre</a> and <a href="/wiki/Felindre" title="Felindre">Felindre</a>, rendering the old works in Pontarddulais obsolete.
