Swanbridge railway station

Swanbridge railway station was located on the now disused railway line between Penarth and Cadoxton, which closed in the 1960s.

Like the other stations on the branch, Swanbridge opened to cater to the large amounts of tourist traffic.

It is referred to as Swanbridge Halt on a 1921 OS map.

[2] By the postwar years, traffic on the line beyond Penarth was in sharp decline, and the DMU sets which served the line in its last years rarely picked up or delivered more than a few passengers a day at Swanbridge.

There was also a wooden awning covering the walkway leading up to the platforms, which stayed in position long after the platform buildings had gone.
