Anyone have any thoughts on how they are going to plan any future expansion from Cardiff along the NW Corridor? From an infrastructure perspective these are the issues that imho need to be resolved: * Kirton Close compulsory purchases * Route through Plasdŵr - on street running vs reusing the...

Also if you look a little further north along the old alignment you can see where the route has been protected just the other side of Cardiff Rd where there have been a few houses built in the last 10 years or so.

There is trackbed all the way from the old station north to where the Barry line used to cross over the TVR line that heads to Rhiwsaeson - I walked it back at Chrismas time and its as clear as its ever been. The bridge was removed years ago so it continues the other side up towards Efail Isaf...

Yes one of them did - there are two old lines running through Creigiau. The one you are thinking of went onto Pontyclun via Rhiwsaeson and the other came up from Cadoxton via what is now the link road to Cardiff from J33 of the M4 to the station in Creigiau and then went onto Efail Isaf and...

It is a funny one because it does depend if you are a first language Welsh speaker or not. Phonetically it goes like this: If your first langauge is English then it's pronounced "Cry-guh" If your first language is Welsh then it's pronounced "Craigy-eye"

Growing up in Crieigau there was always talk of using the old railway(s) for one thing or another - the one plan people really objected to was the plan to take the lorries from Creigiau Quarry down the Rwhisaeson alignment from the quarry entrance at the end of Station Rd down to Llantrisant...

I think if anything at all happens and it gets as far as Creigiau it might even terminate short of the line crossing Cardiff Rd to save ££. That would tick off a couple of things: 1 - Going through Plasdwr and serving the new community there 2 - J33 interchange & the expansion of Capel...

There is a missing bridge where the line goes over the line to Rhiwsaeson just on the edge of Tyn-y-Coed woods and in Creigiau itself the deck of the bridge over Cardiff Rd went years ago and then they widened the road in the mid to late 80s (to smooth out the nasty s-bend in the road caused by...

Brentford has one - my little boy always thinks the train is stopping in a tunnel when we go through there because it is on a slight angle

If they do go under the M4 at St Y Nyll (the underpass is big enough) then that would hook up nicely with the P&R, development sites and business park mooted for J33 and south of Creigiau in the Cardiff LDP whilst giving you a less built up route into the site of the old goods yard in Creigiau...
