About your departure station
Opened in 1846 as Abercynon South by the Taff Vale Railway, this station was crucial for coal and iron transport.
Renamed in 1988, it now links the Cynon Valley to Cardiff, reflecting Wales' shift from heavy industry to commuter services.
Surviving Beeching cuts due to community importance, it has evolved with valley regeneration projects while maintaining its industrial era character in a post industrial landscape.
