Overview

With half a million passengers annually, the station serving the town of Merthyr Tydfil opened in the winter of 1853. It was designed by the brilliant genius Isambard Kingdom Brunel and originally had two platforms, dropping to one as part of the major rebuild in 1996. This overhaul also saw the station being amalgamated with a number of retail outlets in the town.
