More about United KingdomAbout the station
Cardiff Central station was reconstructed between 1931 and 1934 and is Britain’s finest example of a station in the Art-Deco style – which is best showcased by its stunning main entrance hall on the north side of the station, which faces the city centre.
The station now also has a comparatively modern entrance/exit on its south side, facing towards Cardiff Bay.
Between these two entrances there are two subways under the platforms (tracks) which provide the access to and from most of the trains which arrive at and depart from the station.
