RADYR (Welsh = Radur) is 4 miles northwest of Cardiff city centre. Radyr's part of Morganstown. Radyr still handles significant traffic, with over 200 trains calling each weekday & more than 400k passenger journeys per year. Radyr's the northern terminus of the Cardiff City Line. Morganstown's north of Radyr on the other side of the M4 Motorway. Neighbouring communities are Whitchurch, Pentyrch & Llandaff. At the turn of the 20th century Radyr had a busy railway from where coal trains were transferred onto either the Taff Vale Railway to Cardiff Docks, or the Penarth district line to the docks at Penarth, 4 miles southwest of Cardiff city centre. Also, the Barry Railway Company freight route ran just to the north of Morganstown, over Walnut Tree Viaduct. To the south-east of Radyr was an extensive railway marshalling yard which included another railway bridge over the Taff to provide an alternative route towards Llandaff. The sidings were lifted in preparation for a housing development in the 1970s. #radyr
