🎄🚂 **Attention Train Travellers in Wales This Christmas!**
If you’re planning to travel by train over the festive season, here’s what you need to know: some major engineering works are happening, and several service changes will be in place. 📆🛠️
Here’s the lowdown:
– 🚫 No train services or replacement buses on the 25th and 26th of December.
