Шаблон:Short descriptionШаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox station Hengoed railway station serves the village of Hengoed in the county borough of Caerphilly, South Wales. It is a stop on the Rhymney Line of the Valley Lines network.

History

The current station was initially named Hengoed & Maesycwmmer when opened by the Rhymney Railway in 1858. Then on railway grouping into the Great Western Railway in 1923 it became known as Hengoed Low Level to avoid confusion.

Hengoed High Level railway station

Immediately adjacent, and crossing Hengoed Low Level was another station which originally shared the name Hengoed & Maesycwmmer, serving the Taff Vale Extension from Pontypool to Quakers Yard (and ultimately Шаблон:Rws). This station was renamed in 1923 to Hengoed High Level. The High Level station was immediately at the end of the Hengoed Viaduct, which carried the line across the Rhymney valley to Maesycwmmer. It was closed in June 1964. The line is disused, but the viaduct has been restored and is now part of the National Cycle Network. Some remains of the platforms have also been preserved.

Maesycwmmer railway station

The towns shared a third railway station on the former Rumney Railway, which on amalgamation with the Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway was called Maesycwmmer & Hengoed. In 1923 it was renamed simply Maesycwmmer.

Services

The station has 4 departures per hour in each direction Mon-Sat daytimes- southbound to Шаблон:Rws, Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws and northbound to Шаблон:Rws.
