UK Railways Portal

Abercynon North railway station is one of two railway stations - North and South - serving the village of Abercynon in the Cynon Valley, South Wales. It is located on the Aberdare branch of the Merthyr Line 24 km (15¼ miles) north of Cardiff Central. Passenger services are provided by Arriva Trains Wales.

In November 2007 a proposal was submitted by the Welsh Assembly Government to discontinue all services provided at this station. Fom a date "no sooner than 1st May 2008" as the notice runs, all services were to be transferred to Abercynon South, which will be rebuilt to accommodate all services serving both stations.[1]

[edit] Service

[edit] Autumn 2007

Abercynon North is served by a train every 30 minutes in each direction, weekday daytimes, calling at almost all stations between Aberdare and Barry Island via Llandaf. Other major stations on the route include Pontypridd, Cardiff Queen Street, Cardiff Central and Barry.

The one station this service ignores is Treforest Estate - to get there from here, change at Treforest from where a train every half hour calls at Treforest Estate.
