Bridgend railway station
Bridgend railway station ((ウェールズ語:Gorsaf Pen-y-bont)) is a mainline railway station, serving the town of Bridgend, South Wales. It is located approximately halfway between Cardiff Central and Swansea at the point where the Maesteg Line diverges from the South Wales Main Line, and is the western terminus of the Vale of Glamorgan Line from Cardiff via Barry and Llantwit Major. It is the fifth busiest station in Wales, after Cardiff Central, Cardiff Queen Street, Newport and Swansea.
==History==
The station was opened on 18 July 1850, and both the main platform building and the 1877 pedestrian bridge are Grade II listed.〔(Bridgend Monuments and Memorial Trail, p 18 )〕 The station was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Services on both branch lines from the station were withdrawn for a time in the 1960s & early 1970s (trains on the Vale of Glamorgan line fell victim to the Beeching Axe in June 1964, whilst Maesteg trains were withdrawn in July 1970), but because the lines remained in situ due to coal traffic for the Aberthaw Power Station, each one has since been reopened to passenger services.
