History[edit]
The station was opened by the Taff Vale Railway in late 1841 though it did not appear in Bradshaw's timetables until 1844.[1][2] It was named Troedyrhiew from 1846/47 until 1 July 1924 when it became Troedyrhiw. The hyphens were added on 12 May 1980.[3]
Services[edit]
The station has a basic half-hourly service in each direction (Mon-Sat), northbound to Merthyr Tydfil and southbound to Pontypridd, Radyr, Cardiff Central and Barry. Trains then continue alternately to Barry Island and Bridgend via the Vale of Glamorgan Line. On Sunday, there is a two-hourly service each way to Merthyr and Bridgend.[4]
