Live disruption

No direct Transport for Wales service between Pontypridd and Cardiff Bay until at least the end of October

Active Transport for Wales
All disruptions

There are more Transport for Wales trains than usual requiring repairs at the same time. As a result of this, services that would ordinarily operate directly Pontypridd and Cardiff Bay have been cancelled in full. Instead, a shuttle service will operate between Cardiff Queen Street and Cardiff Bay.

If you are travelling between Pontypridd and Cardiff Queen Street / Cardiff Central, there are alternative trains running. If you are travelling to / from Cardiff Bay, you can use the shuttle train service which is running between Cardiff Queen Street and Cardiff Bay.

These alterations are expected to be in place until at least the end of October.
