Cardiff Bay railway station

Encyclopedia : C : CA : CAR : Cardiff Bay railway station

Cardiff Bay railway station (previously Butetown railway station) is a station serving the Cardiff Bay and Butetown areas of Cardiff. It is the terminus of the Butetown Branch Line. Only one platform of the original station is now in use (with the station building itself effectively abandoned), though the rest of the station remains visible from nearby Lloyd George Avenue. For various reasons, including it being the origin of the first steam-powered passenger train service in Wales, the station is Grade II* listed.

The station is within walking distance of the National Assembly for Wales and the Wales Millennium Centre

Passenger services are provided by Arriva Trains Wales.
