It doesn't even have a refreshments trolley yet its one of the most beautiful railway journeys you can do in Wales
Nothing beats a scenic train journey, whether it’s passing through breathtaking countryside or whizzing by tiny villages. With its impressive mountains and lush green valleys, Wales is home to more than its fair share of beautiful train journeys.

As someone who grew up in Carmarthen, I took the train journey between my hometown and Llanelli for granted as a youngster; it’s only when friends came with me that the beauty of the stretch which winds past Ferryside registered with me. Loughor is much the same; it stand outs from the gloom early on in this epic journey, which will take about nine hours in total, including the wait to come home at the other end.
The journey offers great value for money, for £13 you can literally travel through the heart of Wales and take in all that it has to offer. The Transport for Wales train is clean and tidy, but only one toilet on a train full of day trippers leaves me dancing awkwardly in that little wobbly-floored bit in between carriages, waiting my turn.
Yet most people on the train would not even have realised that we had just gone through Sugar Loaf because it’s a request stop where nobody ever requests a stop. To get off you need to have a polite word in the ear of the conductor who will invite you into the cockpit when the time is right and allow you to squeeze out onto a deserted platform surrounded by no shop, no ticket office, no houses and no passengers.
