Brief Description:
Newport Railway Station is the third busiest station in Wales. Part of the British railway system owned by Network Rail and operated by Arriva Trains Wales, with services also provided by Great Western Railway and CrossCountry.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newport_railway_station
2024: "Newport (Welsh: Gorsaf Rheilffordd Casnewydd) is the second-busiest railway station in Wales (after Cardiff Central). It is situated in Newport city centre and is 133 miles 13 chains (214.3 km) from London Paddington measured via Bristol Parkway,[1] and 158 miles 50 chains (255.3 km) via Stroud.[2]
The station was originally opened in 1850 by the South Wales Railway Company and was greatly expanded in 1928. A new station building was built in 2010, with four full size platforms to facilitate new Great Western Railway 10-car Intercity Express Programme trains.
The station is owned by Network Rail and managed by Transport for Wales Rail.[3] The main station entrance is located on Queensway, connected by Station Approach to the High Street; there is a further entrance adjoined to the National Car Parks site at its rear, reached from Devon Place. As at February 2019, the station is a calling point for GWR (who provide most of the services), as well as Transport for Wales Rail and CrossCountry.
In December 2022, the ORR approved Grand Union to commence a new service from Paddington to Carmarthen in partnership with Spanish rail operator Renfe, for which a fleet of new bi-mode trains will be used. The new service is scheduled to commence in December 2024.[4] The service will call at Bristol Parkway, Severn Tunnel Junction, Newport, Cardiff Central, Gowerton and Llanelli en-route to Carmarthen.[5] "
