Coryton Railway Station A class 150 Diesel Multiple Unit at Coryton. Services run between Coryton and Radyr via Cardiff Central on a 40 minute journey that almost describes a full circle, the two stations only being around 1 km apart though they were never linked. The two stations were in fact on competing lines into the valleys north of Cardiff, as such the line north from Coryton was closed by BR in 1952 as it was seen as an unnecessary duplication of the route via Radyr.
