Llanelly and District Electric Tramways operated a standard gauge tramway service in Llanelli, Wales, between 1908 and 1933. It was the successor to a 3 ft (914 mm) gauge horse tramway, which ran from 1882 until 1908. A complex series of negotiations took place in the early 1900s, resulting in the horse tramway being converted to an electric tramway. Standard gauge horse trams were run initially, until the company completed North Dock power station, which supplied electricity to the tramway. Two of the employees who worked on the construction went on to found Balfour Beatty.

has abstract	Llanelly and District Electric Tramways operated a standard gauge tramway service in Llanelli, Wales, between 1908 and 1933. It was the successor to a 3 ft (914 mm) gauge horse tramway, which ran from 1882 until 1908. A complex series of negotiations took place in the early 1900s, resulting in the horse tramway being converted to an electric tramway. Standard gauge horse trams were run initially, until the company completed North Dock power station, which supplied electricity to the tramway. Two of the employees who worked on the construction went on to found Balfour Beatty. In 1929 the company announced that the trams would be replaced by trolleybuses, and the changeover was completed by 1933. The trolleybus routes were extended a little from the tramway routes. Because the owning company also owned the power station, the system was nationalised in 1947 as a result of the Electricity Act 1947, becoming the responsibility of the South Wales Electricity Board. This period corresponded with a downturn in profitability, and the system was sold to the South Wales Transport Company, with a view to closing it down. The sale took place in March 1952, and the system was closed in November 1952. (en)
