[edit] History

Former CWS/MMB creamery at Llangadog, now a pet food factory

The station had a siding accessing the Co-op Wholesale Society creamery, allowing milk trains to access the site. After rail access was ceased in the late 1970s, the creamery continued to operate until 2005, when it closed with the loss of 200 jobs.
