The Vale of Glamorgan Line is a Commuter rail in the United Kingdom, running through the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales, from Cardiff to Bridgend via Barry, Rhoose and Llantwit Major. There are also branch lines to Penarth and Barry Island. In 1964, the line between Barry and Bridgend was shut by the Beeching Axe, as seen in the report 'The Reshaping of Britains Railways', but after 41 years, in 2005, the section was reopened with two new stations at Llantwit Major and Rhoose, the bay platform '1A' at Bridgend was reinstated to act as a terminus for the Vale Line. It came to the conclusion that freight trains to/from the Ford Factory in Bridgend and Aberthaw Power Station and a detour for main line trains kept the section of track from being lifted, which saved the Vale Line.
