Swansea Wind Street railway station served the city of Swansea, in the historical county of Glamorganshire, Wales, from 1863 to 1873 on the Vale of Neath Railway.
History
[edit]The station was opened on 1 August 1863 by the Great Western Railway. The owners of a nearby coal yard objected to it being built because it interfered with the passage of their coal trains. It closed on 1 March 1873.[1] Services were diverted to East Dock after closure.[2]
