Work will begin imminently on the construction of a new Butetown railway station and the redevelopment of Cardiff Bay station. Plans to build a new two-platform station in the north of Butetown were unveiled last summer.
It will be built opposite Maria Street, just north of the Letton Road underpass. The Bay Line Transformation project also includes enhancing Cardiff Bay station, with improvements such as a second platform, new signage and customer information screens.
TfW said the scheme was part of "the biggest upgrade to public transport in the area for a generation". A new track will be installed and new electrically powered tram-trains - run using overhead line equipment - will be introduced for the two stations. These will allow for faster and more frequent services, the company said.
