Ferryside railway station serves the seaside village of Ferryside, Carmarthenshire, Wales. The station was opened by the South Wales Railway on 11 October 1852 and is now an unmanned request stop. There is a level crossing near the station as well as a manually operated signal box, which in 2016 was listed as being due for computerisation. The 1905 Ordnance Survey map shows the presence of a goods shed with a single line running through it and points at either side leading on to the main line. In July 2015, the Welsh Government funded the installation of reinforced glass fibre 'humps' on the platforms to improve access for wheelchair and pushchair users onto and off trains.
