[edit] History
The surviving Neath railway station is one of four railway stations originally in Neath. Neath Canalside served the Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway services until they ended in 1963. Neath Riverside (also at times known as Neath Bridge Street and Neath Low Level), served trains between Brecon and Swansea via the Swansea and Neath Railway, with an additional stop at Neath Abbey. The railway itself remains partly in use, linking Onllwyn and the docks. The remains of the Neath Bridge Street station can be seen by looking down at the railway alongside the river bridge just before Neath railway station in the Swansea direction.

- Platform 1, for westbound trains towards Swansea railway station
