Cardiff Railway map
Last Updated on 25th October 2025
I created this map by overlaying the modern OpenStreetMap with the OS 1:25,000 1937-1961 map (courtesy of the National Library of Scotland map website). I then marked out the route of the Cardiff Railway and associated nearby TfW lines that are still running.
