About your departure station
Built in 1856 by the Taff Vale Railway, Porth served South Wales' coal industry at its peak.
The station's simple design reflected industrial priorities.
Surviving mine closures through community use, it was modernized in 2008.
Handling 150,000 annual passengers, it maintains vital valley transport links.
Porth represents the challenging transition of Rhondda stations from coal transport to passenger services.
Its continued operation demonstrates railways' role in sustaining communities through economic upheaval, providing essential mobility in this steep sided valley where alternative transport options are limited.
