New Valleys station open for business
5:26pm Sunday 27th April 2008
Comments (5)LLANHILLETH train station was officially up and running today, after months of delays.
The single platform was originally supposed to be open at the same time as the other stations on the railway line.
But as the Argus reported last year, building work at Llanhilleth was delayed after slow worms - a protected species - were found onsite.
The line itself, had also suffered delays and after claims that it should be open by Christmas time, did not open until Wednesday February 6 this year.
Were you one of the first people to use the station today?

Great news for llanhilleth but hope they put more carriages. you had hard job getting on the train by the time it got to newbridge with only ebbw vale open, so now llanhilleth is open i doubt you will get on.
