BURRY PORT: Chips, a 99 and Amelia Earhart: the new station wall that reads “every stop is a new beginning”
Step off the train at Burry Port and the first thing you’ll see is a plate of chips, a 99 and a seagull with designs on both.
They’re on the first of five graffiti-style panels along the station wall, each carrying one word of a Welsh phrase: “Pob stop yw dechrau newydd”, every stop is a new beginning.
Read along and you pass the playground, mountain bikers in Pembrey Forest, the racing circuit, the airfield, the harbour from above, the church, and a steam engine and its crew next to a Transport for Wales train.
Yw, Dechrau, Newydd: three of the five graffiti-style panels on the station approach, with chips, a 99, the playground, the forest bike trails, the circuit and the airfield (Image: South West Wales Connected CRP)On the platforms, two bigger murals say “Welcome to Burry Port” and “Welcome to Pembrey” in seaside-postcard style, with the lighthouse, poppies, a robin, and a small red aeroplane beside the date 1928.
The date every Burry Port child knows
That was the June morning Amelia Earhart’s plane landed in the estuary off the town, making her the first woman to fly the Atlantic. The centenary is two years away and the panels are getting in early, according to South West Wales Connected, the community rail partnership that commissioned them.
The murals also feature Glynis Johns, the Mary Poppins actress the partnership says has links to the town, and a man it names only as Emyr.
Emyr sold the last Edmondson ticket at the station, the partnership says: the little card tickets railways used for over a century before print-outs and phones. He came to the design workshops to talk about his railway days.

The panels were designed after workshops with schools, community groups and residents, the partnership says, and then produced and fitted by signmakers ONER Signs.
Transport for Wales paid for most of it, with a contribution from Great Western Railway.
The station hasn’t always been in the news for good reasons. In May 2021 around 100 drunk youths gathered there, a fight broke out on the train to Llanelli and two police officers were assaulted.
The partnership says the artwork is meant partly to “help deter anti-social behaviour through community ownership of space”, as well as to make the station more welcoming.
Eve Sherratt, its community rail officer, said: “This project isn’t just about enhancing the station, it’s about celebrating the people, heritage and creativity that make this area so special. By involving the community from the very beginning, we’re ensuring the results are something everyone can feel connected to and proud of.”
Robyn Jones, customer manager at Network Rail Wales and Borders, said the installation “further enhances what is already one of West Wales’s hidden gems”.
South West Wales Connected is one of more than 75 community rail partnerships in Britain, and is hosted by 4theRegion, the Swansea-based not-for-profit.
A train every half hour, if the money comes
The station is also first in line for the Swansea Bay Metro. Phase A of Transport for Wales’s plan is a new station at Cockett and a train every half hour between Swansea and Burry Port, run from a new Platform 0 at Swansea.
It is the one Metro scheme with paperwork moving: costed at under £50 million, its business case went to the Welsh Government last month. What it doesn’t have is money. Neither the Metro nor St Clears station won anything in the 2025 Spending Review, TfW told councillors in July, and the next one isn’t until 2027.
For now, Burry Port’s new beginning is the wall. The trains stay hourly.

I think the #GreenParty should spin its proposed #SpeedLimit policy slightly differently - and just say "we will reassess all speed limits on #UK #roads, selecting maximums of 50 to 60 mph where appropriate" this enables use of existing road signs and limits that drivers are familiar with, isn't wildly different from what local Councils and #NationalHighways / #TrafficScotland / #TransportForWales are doing anyway, gives #gammons a less obvious headline than unusual 55 mph limit and they don't have that long attention spans..
Incidentally I've now been driving 7 years and even in that relatively short time I've seen multiple rural roads across #Suffolk and #Essex change limits from 60 mph to 40-50 mph - all areas with Conservative Councils!

For fans of terrible app design, we just missed a bus because the #TransportForWales app doesn’t list buses in chronological order, which does seem like a bit of an oversight (screen capture in quoted toot).
There’s not even an option to switch the app to landscape view, unless I’ve missed something.
(We *could* have caught the bus at 14:37, but I’d just bought a pint after spending 3.5 hours on the two buses from Llangollen, when I saw it pull in across the road.)

Someone told me about a collab between #TransportForWales and #Cadw, the #Welsh #heritage body.
You get 2-for-1 entry at their sites if you travel there via #train, and judging by the little guide I saw, it's ENTIRELY possible. (So pipe down, car people.)
This is on offer until 30 September 2025, so hop on a train with a friend or partner or child and visit somewhere historic!

This isn’t the first time #TransportForWales have messed up on bilingualism. A recent update on their TrawsCymru bus app informed users of the T5 Haverfordwest to Aberystwyth services that disruptions were being caused by roadworks in Newport, which was true, except the Welsh language version had “Casnewydd” (Newport, Gwent) rather than “Trefdraeth” (Newport, Pembs).
