Transport for Wales services along the Cambrian Line have been affected after several trains required repairs at the same time, leaving the operator with fewer vehicles available to run its scheduled services.

National Rail has warned that disruption is expected to continue until approximately 10.30pm, with passengers advised to check their journeys before travelling.

The cancellations affect services in both directions between Aberystwyth and Shrewsbury, alongside a late-evening departure to Machynlleth.

The following services have been cancelled:

  • 10.27am Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth
  • 12.27pm Aberystwyth to Shrewsbury
  • 4.30pm Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth
  • 6.27pm Aberystwyth to Shrewsbury
  • 8.32pm Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth
  • 10.27pm Aberystwyth to Machynlleth

The disruption is expected to affect travellers throughout the day, with passengers relying on the Cambrian Line facing longer waits between available services.

National Rail said the problems had arisen because more trains than usual needed repairs simultaneously, reducing the number available to operate services between Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth.

Passengers affected by the cancellations have been advised to use the next available service wherever possible.

Travellers experiencing delays may also be entitled to compensation, depending on the circumstances of their journey.

National Rail advises passengers seeking compensation to retain their tickets and make a note of the journey affected.

Further cancellations remain possible while the shortage continues, although the six services listed above were the confirmed cancellations when the disruption notice was issued.

Passengers can check the latest information through the National Rail journey planner or Transport for Wales' live service map before setting out.
