Cardiff Central

Last update: 21st April 2010

Cardiff Central is the main hub of railway activity in Wales, served by direct services to London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Swansea and Nottingham among other places. It is also the main radial point for Valley Lines services. It is rather a busy station - not on Clapham Junction lines, but certainly busier than Temple Meads and quite possibly New Street.
