Cardiff Central redevelopment vision put forward

Listen to this article

Network Rail has released two new images which give a glimpse of a planned redevelopment of Cardiff Central station.

Described by Network Rail as “the biggest transformation of Cardiff Central station since it was first built in the 1850s”, the project will focus on creating a more spacious concourse, improved connectivity to platforms and a better retail offering.

Network Rail is hoping to deliver the upgrade within CP6.

Mark Langman, route managing director for Network Rail in Wales, said: “The station area is a prime location for commercial development, as the BBC Wales headquarter announcement shows, and we are really excited by the site and the opportunities it will unlock to redevelop the station.

“This is a unique opportunity to create a new station environment that is a fitting entrance to the capital city of Wales.

“We’re pleased to be working with the Welsh Government, Cardiff Council and industry partners, including Arriva Trains Wales, to enhance the city and the quality of transport in the region.”
