New shelters for Rhiwbina and other local rail stations

Rhiwbina, Birchgrove, Whitchurch, Coryton, and Ty Glas train stations are among more than 60 stations in South East Wales where shelters have been replaced or refurbished as part of a £2 million, 18-month Transport for Wales project.

The work, which has predominantly covered the Core Valley Lines, including the Coryton Line, was described as a "targeted improvement for customers".

Several different designs of shelter have been installed around the network, including barrel roof, green roof and Voyager.

The new shelter at Rhiwbina station

The Coryton Line stations in our area have all had new shelters installed.

Work has taken place at stations from Barry Island in the south to Merthyr, Aberdare and Rhymney in the north, involving more than 100 shelters in all.

Project manager Adam Zak said: "This has been a really comprehensive project looking at making targeted improvements for our customers.

"We know that having somewhere safe and suitable to shelter from the elements is so important for customers waiting for a train.

"The work really improves the look and feel of our stations so this work really fits in with our value of doing the right thing".
