Platform zeros are typically used (in Britain) as places to keep trainspotters and other assorted transport twitchers well out of the way of the general travelling public.
I have also heard that more recently, they have been used as places for really late train arrivals and departures, in the hope that the rest of us somehow won't notice. They seem to be getting quite a lot of use in this respect nowadays.
Specifically in Cardiff, this could also be some weird sort of Welsh sense-of-humour thing.

It's probably lower down... why don't you ask station staff?
