Attention, Cardiff commuters! 🚆 Major disruptions ahead as the Rhymney line shuts down from Sunday, February 22 to Saturday, February 28. This is due to essential engineering works linked to the South Wales Metro project. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
Buses will replace trains between Cardiff Central and Bargoed, and between Cardiff Central and Rhymney. However, services to Coryton will run as usual. The closure allows for crucial repairs and waterproofing inside the Caerphilly tunnel, ensuring the long-term safety of the line.
Key details:
🚌 Replacement buses on the move all week
⏰ Buses will go directly from Cardiff Central to Bargoed (no Cardiff Queen Street stop)
💡 Plan ahead! Check before you travel and allow extra time for journeys
This is part of a broader upgrade under the South Wales Metro programme, promising brand new trains and improved accessibility across the network. So while it’s a week of hassle now, brighter and better commutes are coming soon!
