Llanbradach railway station is a railway station serving the village of Llanbradach, south Wales. It is a stop on the Rhymney Line of the Valley Lines network.
The railway line through here opened in 1858. Llanbradach station was opened on 1 March 1893 by the Rhymney Railway, replacing Pwllypant (Bradshaw's spelling) a short way to the south.[1]
The station has a frequent service - currently four departures per hour each way, to northbound and to, and southbound. One northbound train each hour continues to, with extras at peak times. In the evening, the service reduces to hourly each way and on Sundays to two-hourly (when southbound trains run to rather than Penarth).
