The station was opened in 1987 when a passenger service was introduced to the City Line. The line on which it is situated on was originally goods only and was opened by the Taff Vale Railway in 1859 to serve the docks at Penarth.[1]
On Monday to Saturdays, two trains per hour in each direction serve Fairwater. Southbound services run towards Cardiff Central and continue to Coryton; northbound trains run to Radyr. There is no Sunday service.[2] The station is unmanned.
