Rhiwbina railway station is a suburban railway station serving Rhiwbina, Cardiff, Wales. It is located on the Coryton Line 4.25 miles (6.84 km) north of Cardiff Central. Passenger services are provided by Transport for Wales as part of the Valley Lines network. The line is served by the Sprinter classes of DMUs.

History

[edit]

It was opened by the Cardiff Railway in 1911, and was a two-track, dual platform station. Services have previously included a service from Coryton to Cardiff Bay.

Improvements to the Coryton Line are scheduled to occur from 2020 onwards, with Rhiwbina potentially becoming a part-electrified two-track station with two platforms, in mid-2021, under new proposals made by the South Wales Metro Scheme.

Facilities

[edit]

The station, previously a halt, has a small shelter and a card-only ticket machine. It is accessible from the Rhiwbina Garden Village side, behind the library, as well as from Caedelyn Park via a newly renovated footbridge.

Services

[edit]

Monday to Saturday, there is a half-hourly service southbound to Cardiff Central and onwards to Penarth and to Coryton northbound. There is no Sunday service.[1]
