Danescourt railway station is a railway station serving the Danescourt suburb of Cardiff, Wales.

The station is situated on the Cardiff City Line 3 miles (5 km) north of Cardiff Central. The City Line was freight only from its opening (in 1859) until 1987, when British Rail introduced a passenger service between Cardiff Central and Radyr.^[1] Some non-stop passenger trains pass through in both directions.

Both of the station's two platforms are accessible for disabled passengers via ramps. The Cardiff Central-bound platform is accessible via a bridge, whilst the Radyr-bound platform is accessible via a residential road (Beale Close) off the main road (Danescourt Way). A footbridge links the two platforms.

Services

The typical Monday-Saturday off-peak service is:

• Two trains per hour in each direction: Eastbound to Coryton via Cardiff Central and Cardiff Queen Street, and westbound to Radyr, which is the next station along.

Journey times from Danescourt are 12 minutes to Cardiff Central and seven minutes to Radyr. There is no Sunday service.^[2]
