Trehafod railway station is a railway station serving the township of Trehafod in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. It is located on the Rhondda Line.

It was first opened on this site by the Taff Vale Railway in 1893.[1]

History

A 1912 Railway Clearing House Junction Diagram showing (left) railways in the vicinity of Trehafod (upper left)

The station was opened by the Taff Vale Railway on 4 February 1861, and was originally named Havod. The Welsh spelling Hafod was adopted in November 1890, 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

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.
