History
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Coity%2C_Biglis%2C_Bridgend%2C_Peterston%2C_Pontypridd%2C_St_Fagan%27s%2C_Treforest_%26_Trehafod_RJD_127.jpg/170px-Coity%2C_Biglis%2C_Bridgend%2C_Peterston%2C_Pontypridd%2C_St_Fagan%27s%2C_Treforest_%26_Trehafod_RJD_127.jpg)
The first station was opened by the Taff Vale Railway on 30 August 1861, and was originally named Havod. The Welsh spelling Hafod was adopted in November 1890. It was resited in 1892, and altered to Trehafod on 1 January 1905.[2]
On 18 July 1889, the Barry Railway opened their main line between Hafod Junction and their new docks at Barry and immediately began carrying coal from the Rhondda pits along the new line.[3] The route was not served by passenger trains until 16 March 1896, the new service running between Porth and Barry via Hafod and the Barry Railway's newly opened station at Pontypridd.[4]
Passenger services along the Barry route were diverted via the former Taff Vale station at Pontypridd from 10 July 1930, but coal trains to Barry Docks continued to use the ex-Barry Railway route until June 1951 when they were diverted via Radyr.[5]
Services
[edit]Monday-Saturday, there is a half-hourly daytime service to Cardiff Central southbound and to Treherbert northbound, dropping to hourly in the evening. There is a two-hourly service in each direction on Sundays, with southbound trains running through to Barry Island.[6] On 20 July 2018, previous franchise operator Arriva Trains Wales announced a trial period of extra Sunday services on the Rhondda Line to Cardiff and Barry Island. This was in response to a survey by Leanne Wood and the success of extra Sunday services on the Merthyr Line and the Rhymney Line.[7]
The service from this station is currently (summer 2023) suspended, due to major route upgrade work being carried out at multiple locations as part of the Valley Lines electrification scheme. A replacement bus service is in operation from here to Pontypridd and to Treherbert, calling at all local stations until February 2024[8]
