 "Llanpumpsaint" station was opened in 1864 when the line was extended as far as Llandysul.At the height of its operation, the Carmarthen Aberystwyth Line linked Llanpumsaint to Carmarthen in the south (connecting to the West Wales Line) and to Cardigan, Aberaeron and Aberystwyth (connecting to the Cambrian Line) in the north.The railway served the village for over 100 years until the line finally closed (having ceased carrying passengers in February 1965 and the station).
