Notes
Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road

Llandybie railway station serves the village of Llandybie near Ammanford, Carmarthenshire. The railway station is located below street level just off Kings Road. This is a convenient stop for Glynhir Estate and Glynhir Falls. Two miles (3 km) from the station is the Llandybie 18-hole golf course.

All trains serving the station are operated by Transport for Wales. For trains travelling south this is a request stop, but those travelling north have to make a mandatory call[1] so that the train driver can press the plunger on the platform that activates the warning lights & barriers at the adjacent level crossing over the A483 prior to departure.[2]

When the original station was replaced, the signal box was saved and can be found on the Gwili Railway at Bronwydd Arms.[3]
