Passenger services are provided by Transport for Wales as part of the Valley Lines network.

Improvements to the Coryton Line are scheduled to occur from 2020 onwards, with Rhiwbina potentially becoming a part-electrified two-track station with two platforms, in mid-2021, under new proposals made by the South Wales Metro Scheme.

The station, previously a halt, has a small shelter and a card-only ticket machine.

It is accessible from the Rhiwbina Garden Village side, behind the library, as well as from Caedelyn Park via a newly renovated footbridge.

Monday to Saturday, there is a half-hourly service southbound to Cardiff Central and onwards to Penarth and to Coryton northbound.
