Trains to Radyr

Radyr railway station lies a few miles north west of central Cardiff along the River Taff and the Merthyr Line. It was opened in the mid-19^th century by the then Taff Vale Railway originally as Penarth Junction with four lines running passengers and goods between Llandaff and Cardiff. After the decline of coal production, so did Radyr’s importance. Major redevelopments in the late ‘80s and ‘90s replaced the freighter lines with a third platform creating a useful commuter line into the city. Today, the station and the trains that pass through are run and managed by Arriva Trains Wales. Facilities include a footbridge which links the three platforms together, digital timetable displays and waiting shelters as well as a large car park. There are up to eight trains an hour to Cardiff Central in 16 minutes and five an hour to Pontypridd in 15 minutes.
