Information
Type: National Rail (Vale of Glamorgan Line)
Station code: CGN
Opened: 1888
Platforms: 2

The current station was opened in 1888 next to an existing station called Penarth Dock on the Penarth & Sully branch which was opened in 1878. This part of the station closed in 1962 though there have been proposals to re-open a platform on this line at Cogan.

The current station is a fairly standard suburban one with "bus" shelters, information displays and a ticket machine but no staff. Access between the platforms is via a footbridge. From Cogan there are regular services to Cardiff Central, Barry Island and Bridgend.
The station is served and managed by Transport for Wales

The old footbridge has been replaced by a temporary structure (as of Summer 2019)
