Cwmbran Railway Station

I regularly use Cwmbran Railway Station and for a smaller station, it’s definitely not bad. Located right next to the Cwmbran Shopping Centre (by Morrison’s), it’s in a really convenient place for coming in and out of Cwmbran to do shopping and leisure.
Atmosphere:
Like I said, it’s a smaller station so don’t expect anything fancy or modern. It’s old and slightly dirty, but functioning. There are seats with cover to brave Welsh weather, and also a place to get a small breakfast on your way to work.
Customer Service:
I’ve never had a problem with the service at this station. The information /​ticket booth employees have always been very kind and helpful every time I’ve stopped by. Additionally, on days that the information /​ticketing counter is not open, there are machines for you to purchase your ticket by card. If that’s not going to work either, you can always buy your ticket on the train itself.
Unlike other smaller stations such as Pontypool, trains coming to and from Cwmbran are a lot more frequent. For instance, trains to Cardiff are on the regular. During rush hours, it’s not as busy as you would imagine either, with more of a small handful of people rather than a mob like at most stations.
Basically, Cwmbran Railway Station is nothing special, but it is a perfectly functioning station with everything you’ll need!
