Swansea Victoria railway station
Swansea Victoria is a former railway station in Swansea, south Wales, opened to passenger and goods traffic on 14 December 1867. Owned successively by the Llanelly Railway and Dock Company, the Swansea and Carmarthen Railways Company, the London and North Western Railway Company, the London, Midland and Scottish Railway Company and British Railways, it was served by trains to and from Shrewsbury, Crewe, Liverpool, Manchester and York and formed the southern terminus of the Central Wales line, most of which is still operational as the Heart of Wales Line. Victoria closed in June 1964, having been listed in the Report on the Reshaping of British Railways the previous year. The site was subsequently cleared and used for Swansea Leisure Centre.
