Cardiff Central railway station is set for a major upgrade after funding for a £140 million redevelopment was officially approved. The project aims to modernise Wales’ busiest station while preserving its historic character, ensuring it meets the demands of future passenger growth.
Passengers can expect a larger concourse to ease congestion, improved passenger flow and accessibility, and better facilities for those with reduced mobility. The revamp will also deliver enhanced waiting areas, upgraded retail spaces, and new cycle storage. Importantly, the station will remain open throughout the construction period.
The scheme is being led by Transport for Wales (TfW), with investment coming from the Department for Transport, Cardiff Capital Region, and the Welsh Government. All parties have now signed off the full business case.
