As we move forward with building the South Wales Metro, from 29 April 2023 to late January/early February 2024, we’ll be closing the railway from Pontypridd to Treherbert. this is so we can deliver our biggest programme of works to date.

During these eight months, trains won’t be able to run unfortunately.

We’re running a rail replacement bus service throughout the Rhondda. This will include a bus service every half hour, with a dedicated school service and an ‘express service’ during peak AM times.

We know that this will have a big impact on our customers who rely on our rail service along this line. To help customers through this period of disruption, we are offering all customers that use stations between Treherbert and Trehafod a Rhondda Railcard, which will entitle customers to 50% off travel during this period of disruption.

Railcards can be collected from Porth station ticket office Monday - Friday from 06:00 until 13:00, or by contacting our Customer Relations team on 03333 211 202.
