Bay Line transformation project in Wales

project in planning

The project involves the transformation of the Bay Line as part of the South Wales Metro, the construction of a new two-platform Butetown railway station and the redevelopment of Cardiff Bay station. Cardiff Bay station will include new signage and customer information screens. The Bay Line will deliver a new rapid transport link from Cardiff Central to Cardiff Bay, via Callaghan Square, providing a vital transport link to support the development of the Callaghan Square, Bute Street, Lloyd George Avenue and the Atlantic Wharf masterplan.The Bay Line development phase will also create a regular tram service from Cardiff Central to a new platform at Cardiff Bay Station, two new platforms at Cardiff Central Station, public area improvements around existing and new train platforms and a new highway layout. The first phase of the Bay Line will also include the construction of a new transport hub. Vegetation management work will be carried out to safely provide electrical clearances to the public, personnel and infrastructure for overhead line equipment. The project is part of the Core Valleys Lines (CVL) program.
