Proposed St. Clears Station in SW Wales.

It now looks like the proposed St. Clears station in SW Wales has been delayed by funding issues. St. Clears is one of the places suggested for a new hospital to serve south-west Wales. I can't see that site gaining favour without the station being built.

Plans to reopen train station after 60 years hit by uncertainty

Funding for a new station in St Clears had been promised, but delays have thrown the plans into doubt

"The nearest station for passengers living in and around St Clears is in Whitland, more than five miles away. But with a funding boost from the UK Government totalling between £4m and £5m confirmed almost three years ago, it seemed that the dream of reopening the station - which almost happened back in the 1970s before plans were abandoned - would become a reality".

Shame if this gets shelved. Whilst there's not that much population in St. Clears itself, it's a good location to cover a wider area, especially if the new hospital goes there. Also tourist potential for a shuttle bus to Laugharne, Pendine, etc.
