Notes: The station was originally a terminus until the line was extended to Fishguard Harbour in 1906. The station was called Goodwick until 1.5.1904 when it was renamed Fishguard & Goodwick. The line to Fishguard Harbour is still open with two passenger trains a day.

There is a campaign to persuade the Welsh assembly to restore local trains to Fishguard. When/if this happens, Fishguard and Goodwick would be re-opened; the station yard has already been purchased by Pembrokeshire County Council for a new bus/rail interchange.
