List of railway stations in Wales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of railway stations in Wales, one of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom. It includes all railway stations in Wales that form part of the British National Rail network that currently have timetabled train services. It does not include stations on heritage railways, except for those stations which are shared with those on the National Rail Network.

The main operator is Arriva Trains Wales who run almost all services in Wales. However First Great Western operates the South Wales-London service, CrossCountry operates long distance services to Central and North East England from Cardiff Central and Newport High Street, and Virgin Trains run from North Wales-West Midlands-London.

The main rail routes in Wales include:

• London-South Wales
• Cardiff-Newport-Holyhead
• Valley Lines suburban network

The table includes, where known, the year that each station was opened. However it should be noted that often detailed records are not available, and some stations, particularly in the South Wales Valleys area, were operated as halts for workmen, and public services only appeared later. Additionally, some station names have appeared with several variations, often changing from English to Welsh or vice versa.^[1]

[edit] Stations

The following table lists the name of each station in English and Welsh, along with the year it first opened, and the unitary authority area in which it is situated. The table also shows the train operators who currently serve each station and the final two columns give information on the number of passengers using each station in recent years, as collated by the Office of Rail Regulation, a Government body. The figures are based on ticket sales and are given to the nearest 100.^[2]
