Work is finally underway to finish the refurbishment of the Llandaf railway station canopy – three years after it began. The upgrade to platform one at Llandaf station — which heads into the city centre — started before the pandemic but work has only just resumed.
The refurbishment finally started again in March and is on track to be completed in June. The station, on the edge of Llandaff North, is one of the most used in Cardiff with over 260,000 station entries and exits last year, according to the Office of Rail and Road.
However, rail users have been left with limited shelter and limited visibility of the digital board, and nowhere to sit due to the delays over the past few years. Transport for Wales (TfW) said that the delays were due to the Covid pandemic and the transfer of rail services to TfW in 2021. However, recent delays are due to “changes to the design”, according to a spokesperson.
