Train passengers are being warning of major disruption this week because of industrial action and emergency maintenance work causing train shortages. The Transport for Wales advice is to check before you travel.
A reduced timetable is likely throughout the week and racegoers heading to the Cheltenham Races on Thursday are being advised to seek alternative travel. The company has temporarily withdrawn a number of its Class 175 trains to allow additional maintenance checks to be carried out following some recent mechanical issues and reported fires in some trains.

It had been hoped that all the trains would be back in service by last Friday, but safety checks are "still ongoing" which means disruption for the rest of the week.
