Llandaff for Whitchurch

This station used to be called "Llandaff for Whitchurch" or "Llandaff (for Whitchurch)", until it was renamed "Llandaf" (with one 'f'). I think its name changed in the 1970s, but I can't find a good source. These sources confirm the old name:

Can we find a citeable source, ideally one that gives the date for the name change? Verbcatcher (talk) 02:13, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Curiously, the original name had the Welsh spelling, but it was anglicised as late as 1980. Usually, it's the other way around. --Redrose64 (talk) 09:39, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. The spelling adopted in 1980 is the Welsh language spelling with one f, see Llandaff. Verbcatcher (talk) 14:54, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
