History

The South Wales Railway was extended from Carmarthen Junction to Haverfordwest on 2 January 1854,Template:Sfn and among the original stations was one known as Narberth Road for Cardigan and Tenby; this was simplified to Narberth Road for Cardigan in 1863.Template:Sfn

The station was renamed Clynderwen on 1 December 1875,Template:Sfn being named after the Clynderwen Estate, which included property in the area around the station; a previous suggestion to use the parish name Llandisilio was rejected.Template:Sfn The Narberth Road and Maenclochog Railway (NR&MR) opened in 1876, the junction of that line being to the west of Clynderwen station; and the NR&MR trains to Rosebush used a bay at the eastern end of the up side of the station.Template:Sfn Initially trains had to reverse in and out of the platform, but with the extension of the Rosebush line to Letterston by the North Pembrokeshire and Fishguard Railway (NP&FR) in 1895 (the NP&FR having taken over the NR&MR), the layout at Clynderwen was improved.Template:Sfn

There have been several subsequent amendments to the station's name: to Clynderwen Halt on 6 September 1965; reverting to Clynderwen on 5 May 1969; and finally becoming Clunderwen on 12 May 1980.Template:Sfn

InterCity 125 services ran through Clunderwen to Milford Haven until the early 1990s, terminating in 1994.
