Station message

Temporary station and level crossing closure

From Saturday 19 July until Spring 2026 we'll be carrying out essential upgrades to the Ty Glas station platform and level crossing, as we prepare to introduce brand-new trains onto the Coryton line. The new trains will improve capacity, reliability and performance on the line.

Please use Birchgrove station and follow the diversion route in the meantime. To cross the railway, use Caerphilly Road Bridge. We're working to reopen the level crossing as soon as possible.
