A long title

Following its recent reopening with a new name, this station now holds the distinction of having the longest name for a station as recognised by National Rail in the UK, in both English and Welsh.
There are two examples of longer names in Welsh, but both were deliberately given new contrived names to take the record for the longest name.

From Monday to Saturday, there is an hourly service westbound to and an hourly service eastbound to and onwards to, and. On Sundays there is a two-hourly service in each direction, with eastbound trains terminating at Cardiff Central.
