A Valleys train line will close this month until early 2024 as work on the new South Wales Metro continues. The transformation of the Treherbert Line will mean the route between Pontypridd and Treherbert will be closed from Saturday, April 29, until late January/early February 2024, says Transport for Wales.
The closures comes in place to allow for the latest phase of engineering work for the South Wales Metro. The project involves the electrification of the core Valley lines (from Treherbert, Aberdare, Merthyr and Rhymney into Cardiff), as well as the Coryton and city lines through the capital down to Cardiff Bay.
During the Treherbert Line transformation, Transport for Wales (TfW) will be offering 50% off the cost of travel for people living between Trehafod and Treherbert railway stations. The railcard applies for journeys wholly on the Treherbert line and journeys between stations on the line and locations through to Cardiff Central.
