About your departure station
Opened in 1853 by the Taff Vale Railway, Pentre Bach served South Wales' iron industry.
The station's utilitarian design reflected its industrial purpose.
Surviving steelworks closures through community use, it avoided Beeching cuts but saw reduced services.
Recent timetable improvements increased frequency while preserving the station's unaltered character.
Handling 30,000 annual passengers, it maintains vital transport links for this former industrial valley.
Pentre Bach's history embodies the resilience of Welsh communities, where railways originally built for heavy industry now serve social and economic regeneration in post industrial landscapes.
