A new train station is set to be built in the heart of Cardiff's student area as part of the new South Wales Metro. Plans for the station on Crwys Road in Cathays have been approved by the council, with work set to begin in the coming months.
The multi-million pound Metro project, which is set to be mostly completed in 2024, will provide a new integrated public transport network across south Wales, comprising heavy and light rail, trams and new buses. The Crwys Road stop is one of several new stations being built while current ones are also being re-developed as part of plans to improve capacity and provide faster, more frequent and greener services.
The approved plans will see two new platforms built on either side of the railway line that currently runs between Cardiff Queen Street and Heath High Level, with lift access to Crwys Road overhead also included in the proposals.
