Pontypridd Tram Road (also known as Pontypridd Tram Road Halt [1]) was a railway station in Pontypridd, Wales. From 1904 to 1922, [2] it served as the Pontypridd terminus of the Alexandra (Newport and South Wales) Docks and Railway's local passenger service between Pontypridd and Caerphilly.
Caerphilly was the terminus of the Rhymney Line from Penarth from 5 September 2008 to 19 September 2008 due to a landslip that blocked the line near Llanbradach railway station due to the poor weather conditions. Replacement bus services operated the route between Caerphilly and Bargoed/Rhymney. Train services subsequently resumed as normal.
