 In 1873 it changed its name to the "Central Wales and Carmarthen Junction Railway".The little company decided to be robust in its dealings with the LNWR and a dispute led to the LNWR discontinuing working of local traffic from 1 April 1880, only accepting passengers and goods from local stations to and from its own line.The antagonism dragged on for many years, finally being resolved when the CW&CJR sold its line to the LNWR for £137,500 cash, from 1 July 1891.
