The station opened on 6 February 2008 when services between Cardiff Central and Ebbw Vale Parkway commenced, with trains being operated by Arriva Trains Wales. On 17 May 2015, a new northern terminus was opened at Ebbw Vale Town railway station. In 2018, Transport for Wales took over running of the services. On 13 December 2021, a direct service to Newport railway station was added,[1] suspended in January 2022 because of staff shortages caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and reinstated in May 2022.

Services

On Mondays to Saturdays, there are four trains an hour, alternating between Cardiff Central and Ebbw Vale Town and Newport and Crosskeys services. On Sundays, the hourly Cardiff to Ebbw Vale service runs via Newport.

The journey time to Newport is 14 minutes, Cardiff Central is 25 to 30 minutes, and it is around 35 minutes to Ebbw Vale.[2]

A subsidised rail linc bus operated between the station and Newport city centre via Celtic Springs, Cleppa Park, Tredegar Park and the Royal Gwent Hospital, from the reopening of the Ebbw Valley Railway, but was withdrawn in May 2008 due to low usage.[3] In November 2011, the Welsh Government announced that it would be reinstated on a trial basis for a year.[4]
