In August 2020, a report suggested construction would start the following year, and the station would open in 2024. Completion of the station has been pushed back to 2023, subject to a planning application due in 2020. In November 2019, a four-week period of public engagement into the project was launched. In January 2019, it was announced that the station would open in 2022 with construction starting in 2020. The station while first proposed in 2012 saw significant plans developed in the mid 2010s. If Cardiff Parkway opens it will be the first station on the main line between Cardiff and Newport since Marshfield Station closed in 1959. The plans are to skew the two relief lines to the south to allow an island platform to be built in the middle of the four tracks, plus platforms on either side. The station is expected to cost around £120m and aims to secure 8 services an hour to Cardiff and Newport, as well as mainline services to other parts of the UK, including London and Bristol. On 19 July 2017, it was announced the station had received funding of £30 million and was due to open in February 2020. On 13 July 2017, it was announced that the station would be privately built rather than public and would not need the same system of approval than if it was publicly built. The new station is to be located south of the existing St Mellons Business Park in Cardiff, with the location of the station between Newport Road and Newport stations. The station is to serve a new business park and would fit in with the proposed South Wales Metro. ![]() See also: Proposed railway stations in WalesĬardiff Parkway Developments Ltd had applied for a station as part of the New Stations Fund 2, but it was unsuccessful. ![]()
