July 1922 for administrative purposes. The BP&GVR network was now simply a part of the GWR. The terms for shareholders agreed with the GWR were for 10 GWR preference shares to be exchanged for each of the 3,312 BP&GV preference shares, and for 143 GWR ordinary shares to replace every 10 BP&GV ordinary shares. After 1923 Kymers Quay had long been moribund due to silting and the inability to handle modern, larger vessels, and the BP&GVR branch to the Quay closed beyond Tycoch Junction in October 1929. A new passenger halt called Craiglon Bridge Halt was opened on 1 February 1932. The Cwm Capel branch at Burry Port had long been worked by the locomotives of the Pembrey Copper Works. Crossing the GWR main line on the level, it was worked by the GWR after 1898. In the 1920s traffic declined, and Cwm Capel colliery closed in 1931. After that date there was little traffic on the branch after 1931. In 1932 the signal box controlling the crossing of the branch over the main line (Snook's Crossing) was closed, the crossing being protected by a ground frame. The track on the Cwm Capel branch remained for a time in case the colliery re-opened, but was eventually lifted in 1940. During World War II women were employed on various duties to alleviate staff shortages; at one time on the BP&GV section there was a woman porter and several women signallers, and at one period there were women operating all the signal boxes except Ty Mawr and Cwmmawr. They found that some of the point levers were difficult to operate, especially those at Dock Junction and Kidwelly Junction boxes, with each lever working both the points and the locking. After 1948 The railways of Great Britain were nationalised in 1948, and from 1 January were part of British Railways. Consideration of the closure to passengers had started in January 1951. It was found that during 1949 71,397 passenger journeys were recorded; passenger receipts came to £1,499, stated to result in a loss of £1,144 for the year. The intention to close was announced; objections were received: the main objections were that the inhabitants of Glyn Abbey and Pontnewydd would be left without any alternative bus service, and the 9.30 pm train from Burry Port was being replaced by a motor bus leaving at 10.00 pm which it was claimed arrived at the
