Encyclopedia : P : PO : PON : Pontypridd railway station

Pontypridd railway station serves the town of Pontypridd in South Wales. It is located on the Merthyr and Rhondda lines and is the main line station for the town.

There are two platforms which are still in use. Platform 1 is the Cardiff bound platform and is one side of an island platform accessible via the subway. The platform on the other side of this is no longer in action. There are toilets located on Platform 1. Platform 2 is the valleys bound platform and accessible across the footbridge linking Platforms 1 and 2.

Until the 1930s, Pontypridd had another station, just behind the modern day station, known as Pontypridd Graig station.
