A public website vote was held during the winter of 2012/13 to nominate the shortlisted stations for both the staffed and unstaffed stations categories of the awards.

Speaking at the ceremony, station manager for Swansea Jez Williams said: "We're thrilled to win the award as it is testament to the hard work of all the staff who help keep the station clean and tidy.

"They'll be delighted, especially following the two prestigious international awards won in 2012 and the recent investment in improving facilities at the station."

In 2012, the station won the International Station of the Year and Best Large Station at the International Station Awards.

The station was reopened in June 2012 following a £7.6 million refurbishment, which delivered new, modern facilities and a brighter, welcoming environment for passengers.
