Caerphilly Railway Station: An active passenger & freight Railway Station, on the Rhmney Valley Line. There is an extra platform being added, & the line is due to be electrified. The Station is located in the Town of Caerphilly famous for its Castle & its Cheese.
"The Rhymney Line is a commuter rail line running from Central Cardiff through the Rhymney valley via Heath and Llanishen in the north of the city, to Caerphilly, Bargoed and Rhymney.
The name comes from the fact that the original line followed was part of the Rhymney Railway's system.
The line is currently operated by Arriva Trains Wales (ATW) as part of the Valley Lines network. ATW replaced the previous franchise, Wales & Borders in December 2003.
In March 2007 the latest in a series of infrastructure improvements on the Valley Lines was announced, included lengthening of platforms between Rhymney and Penarth to allow Class 150 units to operate in multiples of 3 (6 cars). However, this is postponed indefinitely due to the sub-lease by the Department for Transport, to First Great Western, of the units that would have allowed this extra capacity." Text Source: (
