Abercynon North railway station was one of two railway stations - North and South - serving the village of Abercynon in the Cynon Valley, Wales. It was located on the Aberdare branch of the Merthyr Line 15¼ miles (24 km) north of Cardiff Central. Passenger services were provided by Arriva Trains Wales. The station was opened by the British Railways Board on 3 October 1988. It was constructed to allow the Aberdare line to serve Abercynon village, as the track layout in use at the time at the original station did not allow Aberdare services to call there.
