Southbound, there are 3 trains per hour to Barry Island and an hourly service to Bridgend via Rhoose.[1] Eastbound services connect at Cardiff Central for other valley lines, e.g. to Rhymney, Treherbert and Ebbw Vale town, the City Line trains that run between Radyr and Coryton, as well as the South Wales main line eastbound. The westbound Vale of Glamorgan branch gives a connection at Bridgend to the South Wales main line towards Swansea and to the Llynfi branch to Maesteg.
