Merthyr Tydfil has secured funding to look into a large expansion of the train station. The town has been awarded £350,000 for feasibility work on new track and platform options to potentially enhance the rail capacity.
The money has been secured by the Cardiff Capital Regional Transport Authority, through its Metro Plus Programme. The work has been aligned to the Merthyr Tydfil Town Centre Masterplan to improve links between rail and bus stations, as well as the redevelopment of lower High Street.
