Plans for a new station at Energlyn have been unveiled today by Network Rail.
The new station will be located between Aber and Llanbradach and will mean passengers at Energlyn could benefit from direct rail services to and from Cardiff, ‘potentially within two years’.
Network Rail is holding a public exhibition so locals can give their feedback on the plans.
Mark Langman, route managing director for Network Rail Wales said:
“This proposal is driven by a vision to transform the railway in Wales and, once delivered, will bring a huge benefit for Energlyn.
“Energlyn has seen a steady increase in passenger demand over the years and the proposed new station will cater for this growth and encourage sustainable travel, whilst improving the environment and socio-economics of the area.”
The exhibition is being held at Plasyfelin Primary School, Lewis Drive, Churchill Park, Caerphilly, CF83 3FT, between 4pm and 8pm on Thursday 9 February 2012.
