Briton Ferry railway station Opened in 1935 by the Great Western Railway on the line from Cardiff to Swansea, this station replaced an earlier one about 500m to the south. It closed in 1964, but was rebuilt and reopened by British Rail in 1994. View south towards Baglan and Cardiff. The left hand (Cardiff-bound) platform is roughly on the site of the 1935 station (see Link), the right hand one is slightly further north.
