Butetown[1] (Welsh: Tre-biwt), formerly Loudoun Square,[2] is a planned station in Cardiff on the Butetown branch line. It is included within the Wales & Borders franchise[2] and will be part of the South Wales Metro.[3]
The station was originally planned to be located next to Loudoun Square, opening by December 2023. In August 2022 it was announced that the station would be located further north, would comprise two platforms, and would now open in spring 2024. It would be served by tram-train vehicles.[4]
Preliminary work with vegetation clearance and other associated works began in January 2023, with the bulk of the main works to begin in summer 2023. At the same time, Cardiff Bay railway station began redevelopment.[5][6][1] The vegetation works clearance is necessary for both the redoubling of the Cardiff Bay Line and installation of overhead electrical equipment for when tram-trains are introduced.[1]
