Llandaf railway station is in Llandaff North, Cardiff, Wales. It serves the areas of Llandaff North and Whitchurch.
The Taff Vale Railway opened the station in 1840.[1] Originally named Llandaff, the station had been renamed Llandaff for Whitchurch by 1910, and on 12 May 1980 it was again renamed Llandaf.[2]
The station is popular with commuters between Llandaf and Cathays, Cardiff Queen Street and Cardiff Central. Trains are often especially crowded in rush hours.
In 2015 work started on replacing the old footbridge with one that offers step-free access to all platforms. This was funded by Network Rail and the Department of Transport Access for all Scheme.
Services
The station has a frequent Monday to Saturday service, and a more limited Sunday service, throughout the year. Under the timetable reforms of Arriva Trains Wales in 2006, the station benefited from the introduction of a Monday to Saturday service with six trains per hour in each direction. Southbound, these all run to Cardiff Central, of which three per hour continue to Barry Island and one continues to Bridgend via Rhoose Cardiff International Airport. Northbound, all run to Pontypridd of which two continue to Treherbert, two continue to Aberdare and one continues to Merthyr Tydfil.
