Train services cancelled between Chester and Wrexham

Transport for Wales (TfW) say that ‘severe weather’ has forced them to stop services in both directions with the 10.44am service and the 11.44am service having been cancelled.

TfW expects the conditions to last ‘until the end of the day’ with further disruption likely.

A spokesperson for TfW said: “We expect to have a reduced number of trains available on Monday 13th July whilst our depot teams work to ensure our on board air conditioning is fully functional.

“This means a reduced number of services are able to run between Wrexham General and Chester in both directions.

“Customers are advised to travel on the next available service where possible.

“Rail services between Wrexham General and Chester are expected to be busy meaning conditions on board could be very warm.

“Customers who are feeling unwell should consider whether they need to travel.

“If you do travel, you should bring water, stay hydrated and speak to a member of the onboard team immediately if you begin to feel unwell.

“We apologise for the disruption caused to your journey.”

The heat is also affecting travel plans for those heading between Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth, with all service cancelled between Machynlleth and Aberystwyth for the remainder of the day.

Passengers expecting to travel on this route are advised that a replacement bus service will be in operation between Aberystwyth and Machynlleth with no additional cost.

If you are travelling on any of the affected routes, or to check ahead before travelling, furthers details are available via the Transport for Wales website.
