The Cache
The cache itself is a small bison tube placed along the Amman Valley cycle path, close by to the station.
Pantyffynnon station
Pantyffynnon railway station serves the village of Pantyffynnon, in Carmarthenshire, Wales. It is situated on the Heart of Wales line and its junction with the branch lines to Brynamman and Abernant. The signal box (formerly one of three at the station and dating from 1892) is the only surviving example on the HoW route and since 1986, it has supervised the entire line north of here to Craven Arms using a system of working known as No Signalman Token Remote (NSTR). The Llanelly Railway first reached the village as long ago as 1839, continuing eastwards to Garnant following within a year and the main line being extended to Duffryn (the current Ammanford) in May 1841.
The station's Grade II listed historic waiting room was restored by Network Rail with support from Carmarthenshire's Built Heritage Team and a significant grant funding from the Railway Heritage Trust. A plaque was unveiled at the station on 19 January 2018. Network Rail was awarded the Railway Heritage Trust Conservation Award for the ‘best restored structure’ at the National Rail Heritage Awards.
