Cefn Onn Halt railway station
Disused railway station in Wales / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cefn Onn Halt railway station was a halt on the Rhymney Line between Cardiff and Rhymney, Wales opened in 1915. It closed on 27 September 1986[1] and was replaced by Lisvane and Thornhill, a short distance to the south. The station is close to the entrance of Caerphilly Tunnel, which resulted in trains overshooting the platform and having to reverse.[citation needed]

The station was adjacent to and served Cefn Onn Park (now known as Parc Cefn Onn), which was laid out from 1911 to 1933 by Ernest Prosser, a director of the Rhymney Railway which owned the line. The park was bought by Cardiff County Borough Council in 1944, which developed it as a country park.[2] The park is now listed at Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.[3]
