Brief Description:

Neath railway station is a mainline station serving Neath and operated by Arriva Trains Wales.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neath_railway_station

2024: "Neath railway station is a main line railway station serving the town of Neath, south Wales. Managed by Transport for Wales, the station is located at street level on Windsor Road, situated back from the street fronting a small car park. It is 208 miles 20 chains (335 km) from London Paddington (via Stroud).[1] 

The station has 2 platforms both accessed through ticket barriers:

• Platform 1, for westbound trains towards Swansea, Carmarthen and Milford Haven.
• Platform 2, for eastbound trains towards Cardiff Central, London Paddington and Manchester Piccadilly

The station is fully staffed, with the ticket office open all week. A ticket machine is also provided for use and for collecting pre-paid tickets. Other amenities provided in the main building on platform 2 include a buffet, waiting room, pay phone and toilets. A waiting room is available on platform 1 and both platforms have CIS displays, automated announcements and timetable poster boards. Step-free access is available to the eastbound platform at all times and to the opposite side via a foot crossing when the station is staffed. However a public lift is provided on an overlooking footbridge.[3] Both platforms are considered short, with neither platform being able to fully contain a GWR train.

The station is served by Great Western Railway services between London Paddington and Swansea. The trains run hourly each way with peak extras and Transport for Wales regional trains between Milford Haven/Carmarthen and Manchester Piccadilly via Cardiff, Newport and Shrewsbury (also hourly), plus the two-hourly Swansea to Cardiff stopping trains.[4]

On Sundays the London - Swansea service runs hourly and the Milford Haven/Carmarthen - Manchester trains run every two hours."
