Llwynypia railway station is a railway station serving the town of Llwynypia in Wales. It is located on the Rhondda Line.

It was first opened on this site by the Taff Vale Railway in 1863.[1]

Services

Monday-Saturday daytime, there is a half-hourly service to Cardiff Central southbound and to Treherbert northbound (dropping to hourly in the late evening). There is a two hourly service in each direction on Sundays.[2] On 20 July 2018, Arriva Trains Wales announced a trial period of extra Sunday services on the Rhondda Line to Cardiff and Barry Island. This was in response to a survey by Leanne Wood and the success of extra Sunday services on the Merthyr Line and the Rhymney Line.[3]
