Ynyswen railway station is a railway station serving the village of Ynyswen in Rhondda Cynon Taf, south Wales. It is located on the Rhondda Line.

It was first opened on this site by British Rail on the former Taff Vale Railway in 1986.[1]

Service

Mondays to Saturdays there is a service every 30 minutes to Treherbert and to Cardiff Central during the day, dropping to hourly after 8pm. On Sundays there is a two hourly service in each direction, with through trains to Barry Island.[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]
