Ty Glas station reopened after a period of modernisation and refurbishment on 7 April 2026, including work to extend the platform to accommodate the new 3 car Class 756 FLIRT trains. The station also received step-free boarding and a safer level crossing.[1]
The Coryton branch line is single-track, though unlike other stations on the branch, Ty Glas has entrances at both the north and south of the station; access from the south requires passengers to cross the track to reach the platform sited on the north side of the track.
Passenger services are provided by Transport for Wales as part of the Valley Lines network.
Services
Monday to Saturday, there is a half-hourly service southbound to Cardiff Central and onwards to Penarth and to Coryton northbound. There is no Sunday service.[2]
