Ninian Park railway station serves the Leckwith and South Canton areas of Cardiff, just outside Cardiff city centre.

The station is 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Cardiff Central. It was fully opened to regular passenger service in 1987 when the City Line reopened to passenger services . As the station was built for main line special trains it has the longest platforms on the line at 154 metres for both Up and Down platforms, which can accommodating up to seven coaches, rather than four coaches as at the other three stations (Danescourt railway station, Fairwater railway station and Waun-gron Park railway station) which opened at the same time, with platforms of 84 metres for both Up and Down.^[1] The station is near the former Cardiff City F.C. stadium and is next to the South Wales Main Line, but trains on this route do not stop. Cardiff Canton Traction Maintenance Depot is adjacent to the station.
