Built as a branch of the Llanelli Railway & Dock Company. Freight and passenger services used the line, passengers changing at Gowerton for Swansea. It used to be really busy with coal traffic but as coal mining declined and a new road was built from Gowerton to Llanrhidian in the 1920's, passenger numbers declined and the service was stopped apart from daily freight services.
