Abercynon North Railway Station

Abercynon North railway station is one of two railway stations - North and South - serving the village of Abercynon in the Cynon Valley, South Wales. It is located on the Aberdare branch of the Merthyr Line 24 km (15¼ miles) north of Cardiff Central. Passenger services are provided by Arriva Trains Wales.

In November 2007 a proposal was submitted by the Welsh Assembly Government to discontinue all services provided at this station. Fom a date "no sooner than 1st May 2008" as the notice runs, all services were to be transferred to Abercynon South, which will be rebuilt to accommodate all services serving both stations.
