Summary ... in "days gone by", Fishguard Harbour station had twice daily through trains to and from Paddington to connect with boats to Rosslare (in Ireland). There had been no local services since 1964. The London trains were replaced by two daily local trains with connections at Cardiff just prior to 2000 (daytime) and 2003 (night train).
These folks bought the guest house (The Ferryboat Inn) in 2005 - i.e. between 2003 and 2011 when just 4 local trains passed by each day.
From September 2011, an extra 5 round trips have operated to Fishguard Harbour - and indeed Fishguard and Goodwick station, closed since 1964 (I think) has been re-opened, and now 14 rather than 4 trains a day pass by, to the disturbance of Mr and Mrs Gregory and their guests, to the cost of £95,000 according to their claim.
According to the Network Rail stoppage, looks like the now owners will have three weeks of blissful peace before the disturbance starts again.
