Overview
Serving the village of Taffs Well, the station of the same name was opened in 1863, and its two platforms see more than a third of a million passengers annually, many of these being commuters travelling into Cardiff. Originally known as Walnut Tree Junction, it was renamed Taffs Well in 1900.
Lying to the north of Cardiff, Taffs Well village is called the Gate to the Valleys by locals and is the location of the only thermal spring in Wales. Averaging a temperature of 21.6°C, the spring is considered a spiritual site by some, many visiting from great distances.
