Pencoed railway station is a minor station in Pencoed, Bridgend county borough, south Wales. The station is located at street level at The Square in Pencoed, {{convert|161.5|miles|km|0}} from {{stn|London Paddington}}. It is a stop on the South Wales Main Line, served by trains on the Maesteg Line, and occasionally by Swanline Cardiff to Swansea regional services, as well as the peak time Manchester to Carmarthen service. All trains are operated by Transport for Wales Rail.

The present station was one of two reopened between Cardiff & Bridgend by British Rail in September 1992 as part of the Maesteg Line reinstatement scheme - the previous station here having succumbed to the Beeching Axe in November 1964 (along with many other smaller stations on the Cardiff to Swansea main line).

Facilities

The station has 2 platforms:

Platform 1, for westbound trains towards Swansea
Platform 2, for eastbound trains towards Cardiff

The station is unmanned - there is no ticket office nor are there any platform entry barriers. Passengers must purchase tickets on board trains or from a self-service ticket machine near the station entrance on platform 2. The two platforms are offset from each other, with platform 2 (Cardiff-bound) to the east of the level crossing that bisects the site and platform 1 (West Wales) to the west of it. Each platform has a waiting shelter, CIS display and timetable posters, whilst there is also a customer help point at the entrance to platform 1. Though the station footbridge has steps, level access to both sides is possible via the road crossing.^[1]

Incidents

In June 2008, a 16-year-old girl Sophie Harris was struck by a train and killed. Harris had been drinking.^[2]

Services

There is a basic hourly service in each direction Mon-Sat, westwards to {{rws|Bridgend}} and Maesteg and westwards to {{rws|Cardiff Central}} (with regular extensions through to {{rws|Cheltenham Spa}}). On Sundays, there are four calls Eastbound and five calls westbound, provided by the {{rws|Carmarthen}} to Manchester Piccadilly service. Most trains operating are Class 175 Coradia units. ^[3]
