Briton Ferry railway station
The view north towards the Ynysymaerdy Road bridge.
Briton Ferry is an unstaffed station on the South Wales main line. The London Paddington to and from Swansea service does not stop here, but other services do, such as Cardiff Central to and from Milford Haven, and Manchester Piccadilly to and from Pembroke Dock.
The long yellow line is the one you must stand behind. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2310025

An oil-burning 2-8-0 on an Up freight at Briton Ferry station
View northward, towards Neath, Swansea etc.; ex-GWR South Wales main line. The locomotive is of particular interest, being one of 20 28XX 2-8-0s temporarily converted to burn oil in the abortive scheme of 1945-47: this locomotive (No. 2854) was converted in 11/45, renumbered 4801 in 11/46 and converted back to coal-burning in 2/49. The station was closed 2/11/64 (goods 6/9/65) but reopened 1/6/94 for local services.

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 Image]), the right hand one is slightly further north.
