Tir-Phil railway station is a railway station serving the village of Tir-Phil and the town of New Tredegar, south Wales. It is a stop on the Rhymney Line of the Valley Lines network. Work to extend the platform to take the proposed six car trains has now been completed. From 2014 (subject to rolling stock availability) the train service is due to become every 30 minutes from the current hourly frequency with the construction of a passing loop at this station and a second platform as part of the Cardiff area re-signalling scheme - the new loop & signalling were commissioned in September 2013.^[1] Arriva Trains Wales have said (at the 2013 Station Adopters' Conference) that they do not have the rolling stock to allow 30 minute services for the foreseeable future.^{[citation needed]} The new second platform came into use on 9 September 2013, but the platform remained unfinished and no further work has been done on that platform, or on bringing the old platform up to disabled access standard, at the end of December 2013.
