Grangetown railway station is a railway station serving the Grangetown district of Cardiff, Wales. It is located on the Vale of Glamorgan Line 1 mile (1.5 km) south west of Cardiff Central towards Bridgend via Barry, Penarth and Barry Island. Passenger services are operated by Transport for Wales as part of the Valley Lines network. The station is reached by steps, so access is not suitable for wheelchair users This station was first opened by the Taff Vale Railway in 1882 and rebuilt with an island platform in 1904, though the railway serving it (what is now the City Line) was originally opened in 1859 to serve the nearby Penarth harbour and dock (even though the dock itself was not commissioned until 1865). The extension onwards to Cogan & Penarth was completed in 1878 and the Barry Railway route to Barry a decade later.
