Platform 8

It was Cardiff General until 1982? I'm 51 and I've never heard it referred to as Cardiff General from anyone of my generation.

That photo looks like it's from the early 60s.

my mum does

infact this Christmas i picked her up from Barry and she got the train back from Bath, at the station she asks for a " single to Cardiff General " of course the ticket seller looked at her blankly and said " its not on the computer ", so she says " try cardiff central then "

sure she does it to wind me up

My mistake, it was changed to Cardiff Central in 1973. Doesn't seem that long ago.

Whilst I am old enough I just cannot remember it being called General.

Then again this trend of calling it Central seems to have bypassed me as I have always just called it Cardiff and that seems to have worked out ok, so far.

I can remember platform 5!
I used to live in Tresillian Terrace, the backs of our houses backed onto the railway lines just beyond the railway bridge over Penarth Road

There were several more platforms when the station was known as Cardiff General. I have been away from Cardiff for many years but still thought it was known as Cardiff General. Cardiff Central is a much better name.
