  Tongwynlais railway station served Tongwynlais in South Wales.
  
  ## History
  
  The station was opened by the Cardiff Railway. Compared with the others on the line, Tongwynlais was one of the larger stations. It had two long platforms with a substantial wooden building on the up side. The platforms were linked with a metal footbridge. The 'down' platform closed on 16 May 1928 when the track was singled. The station closed to both goods and passengers in 1931. In 1947, the line re-opened, but the station did not.
  
  ## After closure
  
  Despite having been closed for 30 years, the station remained in a reasonable condition for a long time, and the station building was still standing in 1961. However, no trace of the station remains, as it has since been buried under the A470 road.
