History
editThe station opened as Gower Road on 14 December 1867 by the Llanelly Railway. The name was changed to Gowerton South on 1 July 1886 to avoid confusion with another station in Gowerton. The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 15 June 1964.[1][2] After closure the station was demolished and the site is now occupied by a road removing all trace of the railway.
