Work on a brand-new, step-free footbridge at Cathays railway station will enter its main construction phase this October having completed initial groundworks and cable diversions. 

Extra train services and increased capacity have been added to key rail routes into Cardiff on Sunday 4 October, as Transport for Wales (TfW) prepares to welcome thousands of runners and football fans to the city.

Transport for Wales (TW) has kicked off a new partnership with the Football Association of Wales to improve public transport for fans travelling to and from national matches and major Welsh fixtures.

Tap in and tap out train travel is now available at 25 stations in North East Wales as TfW extends the ticketing product to 10 new stations on the network. 

This once-in-a-generation programme will deliver years’ worth of improvements during a four-week railway closure in January 2027.
