WORK to build a new station at Butetown, Cardiff, will begin later this year. Transport for Wales has confirmed a two-platform station will be constructed in the north of Butetown, located opposite Maria Street.
While there is a station at Cardiff Bay, a review back in 2021 concluded that having a new station positioned further north would provide better access for the wider Butetown community, and retaining Cardiff Bay station would provide better access to local amenities. As part the project, the existing Cardiff Bay station will also be enhanced with new signage and new information screens. It will remain open while Butetown is being built.
