Summary at a Glance

Life at the UK's most remote train station where hardly anyone gets on or off As the charming two-carriage train pulls out of Llandeilo in Carmarthenshire on a frosty December morning, passengers are treated to a breathtaking journey through the Welsh countryside on the Heart of Wales line.

Among these fascinating stops, one tiny station stands out for its sheer obscurity - the quaint Welsh station of Sugar Loaf.

This has been attributed to tourists keen to say they've visited the most remote train station in Wales, and one of the most isolated in the UK, according to Wales Online.

To be fair to the quiet Sugar Loaf station, it was closed between July 2020 and August 2021 due to Transport for Wales imposing Covid-19 safety measures.

In the year leading up to March 2020, a mere 156 passengers were recorded at a remote railway station - that's just three a week on average.
