About your departure station
Opened in 1850 as the terminus of the South Wales Railway, Swansea Station was rebuilt in 1887 with distinctive Victorian architecture.
Severely damaged in WWII bombing, it was reconstructed in 1954.
Now handling 3.2 million annual passengers, the 2019 upgrade preserved original features like the wrought iron canopy while adding modern accessibility.
