History

The station was officially opened on 4 November 1985 by the Chairman of South Glamorgan County Council, County Councillor Kenneth Hutchings. It was constructed at a cost of £182,000, jointly financed by South Glamorgan County Council and British Rail, with the help of a grant from the European Regional Development Fund. The station, which is situated on the northern outskirts of Cardiff, 4.5 miles (7.2 km) from Queen Street, was hoped to generate at least 900 passenger journeys per day, both inbound and outbound. An 80-space County Council park-and-ride car park was constructed alongside the station.
