History
It was opened by the Cardiff Railway in 1911, and was a two-track, dual platform station. Services have previously included a service from Coryton to Cardiff Bay.
Improvements to the Coryton Line are scheduled to occur from 2020 onwards, with Rhiwbina potentially becoming a part-electrified two-track station with two platforms, in mid-2021, under new proposals made by the South Wales Metro Scheme.
In March 2025, the BBC included the station in a list of "Britain's 10 worst performing stations by percentage of cancelled trains".[2]
