Llwynypia railway station is a railway station serving the village of Llwynypia in Wales. It is located on the Rhondda Line.
It was first opened on this site by the Taff Vale Railway in 1863.[2] or 1871.
Monday-Saturday daytime, there is a half-hourly service to southbound and to northbound (dropping to hourly in the late evening). There is a two hourly service in each direction on Sundays. On 20 July 2018, previous franchise operator Arriva Trains Wales announced a trial period of extra Sunday services on the Rhondda Line to Cardiff and Barry Island. This was in response to a survey by Leanne Wood and the success of extra Sunday services on the Merthyr Line and the Rhymney Line.[3]
The service from this station is currently (summer 2023) suspended, due to major route upgrade work being carried out at multiple locations as part of the Valley Lines electrification scheme. A replacement bus service is in operation from here to Pontypridd and to Treherbert, calling at all local stations until February 2024[4]
