History
Under the Llanelly and District Light Railway Order of 1907, the horse-drawn tramways operated by the Llanelly Tramways were taken over by the Llanelly and District Electric Tramways which undertook a programme of modernisation and electrification.
In 1910 the North Dock Power Station was completed, and this and the tramway system was estimated to cost about £68,000.
The first electric services started in 1911.
The company name changed in 1924 to the Llanelly Electric Lighting and Traction Company.
Closure
Services ceased on 16 February 1933.
