An interesting line - I might see if I can buy the book. The way I read the Wikipedia entry, the stations were only used by workmen's trains. The connection between the GWR Mountain Branch (which we traversed to get to Cross Hands) and the Llanelly & Mynydd Mawr seems only to have existed for a brief period - I can't find a map showing any track on it!

Dewicks Complete Atlas shows Dynant Halt was located between Tumble & Cwmbland, or perhaps this may be another of those situations often found in South Wales of the platform actually being located on a siding into the colliery rather than serving the main running line?
