At Transport for Wales, we’re transforming rail travel across Cardiff through significant investment in new trains, upgraded stations and a more connected transport network. Learn more about the improvements being delivered through the South Wales Metro.
With over 20 stations in Cardiff and the surrounding area, travelling by train is one of the easiest ways to explore the capital. From major sporting events and live entertainment to shopping, dining and iconic attractions, Cardiff has something for every kind of day out, with convenient rail connections bringing you closer to the places you want to visit.
Getting around is now even easier with tap in and tap out train travel across the South Wales Metro. Simply tap in at the start of your journey and tap out when you arrive using the same contactless card or device, and your fare will be calculated automatically. You can also track your journeys and manage your travel through the TfW app.
Travelling as a family? The TfW Family ticket makes days out even more affordable, allowing up to two children to travel free with a fare-paying adult. Under 5s always travel free.
