Notes
Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road

Haverfordwest railway station serves the town of Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is 63 miles (101 km) west of Swansea on the Milford Haven branch of the West Wales line.

Whilst the station has two platforms (as the site of the only passing loop on this section), most trains use platform one as it is adjacent to the entrance and ticket office. The line through the station was double track until 1988 and the station had its own signal box,[1] but this closed when the branch from Clarbeston Road was singled and re-signalled in September of that year; the entire route is now worked under track circuit block regulations from the box at the latter station.
