🚆 Heads up, rail travellers! Major disruptions are coming to key train lines over the next three weeks. From 25th July to 15th August, essential upgrades will shake up the South Wales Metro, affecting lines to and from Cardiff, including Rhymney, Coryton, Cardiff Bay, Treherbert, Aberdare, and Merthyr.
🚌 Don’t worry, rail replacement buses will be covering disrupted routes. But, it’s crucial to check before you travel and allow extra time for your journeys!
🛠️ This is all part of vital work to create faster and more frequent services in the future. Pontypridd station will see track relay, while drainage improvements and level boarding will happen at other stations.
⏰ Key dates to remember:
– Cardiff Queen Street: 25th-27th July (no service on Rhymney, Coryton, Cardiff Bay lines)
– Treherbert to Pontypridd: 31st July-6th August (buses replace trains)
– Treherbert/Aberdare/Merthyr to Radyr: 7th-15th August (buses replace trains)
🔄 Replacement bus schedules will vary, so double-check timings. Late night/early morning services might change, so stay updated via the TfW app or website!
🎟️ Remember your ticket! Pay as you go options are still available, and validators will be close to bus stops. If you miss a tap, you can correct it on the TfW app or website the next day.
🙏 TfW appreciates your patience as they work to improve your rail experience. Get ready for more reliable, accessible, and better-connected trains! 🚉
