Clunderwen railway station serves the village of Clynderwen ( Welsh: Clunderwen) in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The station is unmanned. It is a request stop.
The South Wales Railway was extended from Carmarthen Junction to Haverfordwest on 2 January 1854, [1] and among the original stations was one known as Narberth Road for Cardigan and Tenby; this was simplified to Narberth Road for Cardigan in 1863. [2]
The station was renamed Clynderwen on 1 December 1875, [3] being named after the Clynderwen Estate, which included property in the area around the station; a previous suggestion to use the parish name Llandisilio was rejected. [4] The Narberth Road and Maenclochog Railway (NR&MR) opened in 1876, the junction of that line being to the west of Clynderwen station; and the NR&MR trains to Rosebush used a bay at the eastern end of the up side of the station. [5] Initially trains had to reverse in and out of the platform, but with the extension of the Rosebush line to Letterston by the North Pembrokeshire and Fishguard Railway (NP&FR) in 1895 (the NP&FR having taken over the NR&MR), the layout at Clynderwen was improved. [6]
There have been several subsequent amendments to the station's name: to Clynderwen Halt on 6 September 1965; reverting to Clynderwen on 5 May 1969; and finally becoming Clunderwen on 12 May 1980. [7]
InterCity 125 services ran through Clunderwen to Milford Haven until the early 1990s, terminating in 1994. [8]
Trains that stop here go to Milford Haven westbound and to Swansea, Cardiff Central, Crewe and Manchester Piccadilly eastbound. [9] A basic two-hourly frequency runs Mon-Sat, with fewer trains on Sundays.
