Cardiff City Line
The City Line is a commuter railway line in Cardiff that runs from Coryton to Radyr via Cardiff Central. Regular passenger services on this route started in 1987. Passenger trains run from Monday to Saturday. The line is also used as a diversionary route for trains to Merthyr, Aberdare and Treherbet when the line between Cardiff Queen Street and Radyr is closed for engineering work. Past services on the line saw shuttle services over the line to Pontypridd and beyond with one stop at Ninian Park.
The stations served by the line are listed below:
- Radyr
- Danescourt
- Fairwater
- Waun-Gron Park
- Ninian Park
- Cardiff Central
- Cardiff Queen Street
Services normally continue to Coryton via the Coryton Line.
The line is currently operated by Arriva Trains Wales (ATW) as part of the former Valley Lines network. ATW replaced the previous franchise Wales & Borders Trains in December 2003. Some freight services also use the line.

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or line:
“The Great Society is a place where every child can find knowledge to enrich his mind and to enlarge his talents.... It is a place where the city of man serves not only the needs of the body and the demands of commerce but the desire for beauty and the hunger for community.... It is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goals than the quantity of their goods.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“If you’re anxious for to shine in the high esthetic line as a man
of culture rare,
You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant
them everywhere.
You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
complicated state of mind,
The meaning doesn’t matter if it’s only idle chatter of a
transcendental kind.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
