Cathays railway station is a station on the Merthyr and Rhondda lines in the Cathays district of Cardiff, Wales. It is Шаблон:Convert north of Шаблон:Rws.
The station is next to Cardiff University Students' Union and across the road from many Cardiff University buildings, as well as a short walk from the Welsh Government and other civic buildings in Cathays Park. The footbridge over the railway is much used as a shortcut between Park Place and Senghenydd Road. When Cathays opened in 1983[1] it reversed a trend to close stations. Funded by British Rail and South Glamorgan County Council, construction commenced in April 1983, with the station opened on 3 October 1983.[2][3]
Cathays station is now staffed during peak hours, since the introduction of a new automated ticket barrier system in summer 2007. Cathays has two platforms, each with a small shelter and an information screen displaying the next train's arrival.
The station is the seventh-most used railway station in Wales[4] but is inaccessible to wheelchair users who wish to cross between platforms as there are no bridges or lifts.[4] Transport for Wales has future plans to install an accessible bridge as part of the South Wales Metro project.[4]
Services
In the daytime from Monday to Saturday, there are usually six trains an hour from Cardiff Central to Шаблон:Rws and then either Шаблон:Rws, Шаблон:Rws or Шаблон:Rws (every half hour to each of the latter three). Some eastbound trains continue beyond Cardiff to Шаблон:Rws (3 per hour) or Шаблон:Rws via the Vale of Glamorgan Line (hourly).[5]
There are bus services from outside the station, including Megabus and National Express.
