I wondered whether some of these stations get the record for the number of times they were opened, closed and reopened. Rosebush seems to get the local prize for five separate periods of opening.

I think we missed Llansamlet 1st station (1885 to 1964), Skewen 1st station (1884 to 1910) and Skewen 2nd station (1910 to 1964) on the South Wales Main Line although I am not sure that both the latter count.

Clyne Halt

The two stations that were missed on the line of the South Wales Railway in the direction we were travelling were:-

Llansamlet North (1885-1964)

Skewen (1st station)
