Rhoose Cardiff International Airport railway station

Encyclopedia : R : RH : RHO : Rhoose Cardiff International Airport railway station

Rhoose Cardiff International Airport railway station is a railway station that serves Cardiff International Airport in the village of Rhoose. It is located on the Vale of Glamorgan Line from Cardiff to Bridgend via Barry and Llantwit Major. This station opened on 12 June 2005.

Passenger services are operated by Arriva Trains Wales as part of the Valley Lines network. From December 2006, First Great Western services from the south coast of England will be extended to Rhoose at the request of the Welsh Assembly

Following its recent re-opening with a new name, this station now holds the distinction of having the longest names for a station as recognised by National Rail in the UK, in both English (33 letters, excluding spaces) and Welsh (Maes Awyr Rhyngwladol Caerdydd Y Rhws - 29 Welsh letters). There are two examples of longer names in Welsh, however, both were deliberately given new contrived names to take the record for the longest name. (Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is supposedly either Llanfairpwll or Llanfairpwllgwyngyll — the longer name is not shown on National Rail information documents — and Gorsafawddacha'idraigodanheddogleddollônpenrhynareurdraethceredigion was deliberately fabricated to improve upon the length of the former.)
