Improvements could include new waiting facilities and park and ride schemes.
£21 million has been announced for train station improvement across Wales and the Valleys.
The funding, from the the Convergence European Regional Development Fund, could benefit dozens of stations with improvements ranging from new waiting facilities, park and ride schemes, better access, security and customer information on platforms, under the Wales Enhanced Station Improvement plans.
All works are due for completion by 2014.
Developed in partnership with Network Rail and Arriva Trains Wales, the aim of this wide ranging programme is to increase use of rail services to access jobs, shops and recreation for a wide range of customers including those with disabilities.
The current funding is to support previously announced funding from the Welsh Assembly Government, Network Rail, Arriva Trains Wales, and the Department of Transport.
Deputy First Minister and Minister for the Economy and Transport Ieuan Wyn Jones said: "This programme will not only encourage greater use of rail services - helping reduce road congestion in and around towns and cities - it will also improve access for everyone, including rural communities, people with disabilities and those arriving at stations by foot or on bike."
"Upgrading our major transport hubs as well as smaller stations across the region will increase inward investment, employment opportunities and visitors who will arrive at their destinations through attractive gateways."
