Cardiff Bay Rail Link

The Cardiff Bay Rail Link was a rail extension in Cardiff, Wales, designed to connect the city center to the Cardiff Bay area. Completed in 2000, it included a new rail line and a bridge over the Taff River, improving access for commuters and visitors. The project aimed to boost transportation and economic growth in the region by providing a quick, efficient link between Cardiff city and the vibrant waterfront, supporting local development and reducing road congestion. It operated until 2019, when passenger services were discontinued, but parts of the infrastructure still influence transport planning in the area.
