Cardiff Vale of Glamorgan

Wales and Borders

Introduction

The smallest of the Cardiff simulations, Vale of Glamorgan puts you in charge of the southern loop between Cardiff and Bridgend. The route forms part of the southern end of the 'Valleys' network, so the area is busy with local passenger services. The area also sees a reasonable amount of freight, primarily to Aberthaw Power Station, but also to the Docks and other sidings at Aberthaw and Cowbridge Road.

The area is simulated as it was prior to the line's 2013 resignalling, which saw control transfer to Cardiff ROC.

Cardiff Vale of Glamorgan is a payware simulation- to play beyond a short demo period requires the purchase of a license from the Products area .
