It is a station which gets a lot of trains coming in herem, and is the Terminus of several lines, so the tracks don't really go past here, it's the end of the line. If you want to continue to points west, as they say, the train stops in here then goes back out the way it came and continues westwards. It's a beautiful city with beautiful landscape around here, and even though it's far away from everything, the train can get you here in no time, and the station is located right in the centre of things so that is very helpful as well. It's definitely one of the better stations in Wales, and it has a nice Plaza Courtyard in front of it as well. It's about 215 miles from London and after the other three major South Wales stations in the Cardiff area (Newport, Queen St, Cardiff Ctrl), this is the 4th busiest in the whole country. It is a little bit of a problem because trains have to either terminate here (Arnie style), or reverse to continue, or not even stop here. So the design of the tracks is a little problematic in that regard, but mostly they just reverse from here and continue. They only have four platforms but it's still one of my favourites. And the people are pretty friendly here as well. In fact, to emphasize that, they even won the international station of the year at UK Awards.

This is an old station definitely in need of a revamp. However, it functions perfectly well, so you…read morecan't really complain. The station has a small cafe and a small newsagent. It has 4 platforms, and because Swansea is the end of the line, they can all be accessed without having to go up or down stairs - so it's ideal for those with mobility problems. The station is the end of the line for the inter-city service to London, which operates every hour, and takes 3 hours. A great way to get to London for a short trip. The station is located about a mile from the main Quadrant shopping centre, so it's best to catch a cab or the bus if you're heading over to the shops.

This is a very modern station that looks like something out of the future, or that they were trying to build something from a Sci-Fi TV show or something. A lot of people really don't like the station despite its fancy weird look, which is unique and original if nothing else. People don't like change around here very much, and you can understand why. Nevertheless, it's very important station and gets plenty of traffic. It cost 11 million to turn it into this futuristic thing, and that's probably one of the reasons people don't like it. It's still a pretty busy station though. Tesco was going to build a huge store next to the station which would have made it even more awesome/busy, and then The Proposal was rejected. I guess it was an indecent proposal? Maybe Robert Redford was funding it. Maybe Woody Harrelson objected. Wales just can't help Walesing itself.

Port Talbot Parkway is the main railway station for the South Wales port and steel town of Port…read moreTalbot, and also serves the housing developments and seaside town of nearby Aberavon. One of the major stops on the line from Cardiff to Swansea, the station was built when the line was opened in 1850, but named Aberavon (the town and station later acquired its name from the Talbot family who developed the docks and the adjacent seaside settlement adopted the name Aberavon). For much of the 19th and 20th century, Port Talbot was the centre of an extensive railway network serving the adjacent coast and the coal mining valleys to the north, but this has since shrunk to the main line, and a small network serving the steel works. The station was rebuilt in the 1970s in its present form with a single island with 2 platforms, and the small, modern brick ticket office was rebuilt in 1980. It was renamed Port Talbot Parkway in the late 1980s when a large car park was built, with the aim of its becoming a local railhead. The station has a small buffet, toilets and has step-free access to the platforms, via the level crossing, available only when the station is staffed (6-22h). The ticket office is only open until the early evening. It has a large car park, a taxi rank and cycle storage. It is served by the main hourly London-Swansea inter-city trains operated by First Great Western, hourly regional trains between West Wales and Manchester, and the less frequent local trains from Swansea to Cardiff which stop at intermediate all stations.
