Passengers to Cardiff are facing disruption today, Saturday, October 3, due to problems on the railway.
Transport for Wales (TfW) said there is a problem with the signaling system at Cardiff Central station, which means services may be delayed or canceled for the rest of the day. The rail operator has warned there will be delays of up to five minutes on some lines, and trains traveling between Radyr and Cardiff Central may be canceled altogether.
All services on the Treherbert line will no longer call at Cardiff Queen Street, Cathays and Llandaff on Saturday due to the signaling problems.
TfW has apologized to customers for the disruption and has arranged to accept tickets on local bus routes. This is available on the number 24 and 25 Cardiff bus services between Cardiff and Llandaff. Pay as you go cannot be used on bus services.
If your train is delayed or canceled and you arrive at your destination station more than 15 minutes later than planned, you can claim compensation through ‘Delay Repay’. Full details are available on the TfW website, here.
There are also ongoing issues on the line between Pontypridd and Cardiff Bay due to problems with the 398 tram trains which have resulted in them being removed from passenger testing. It comes as extra arrangements have been made to accommodate the thousands of people expected in the capital on Sunday for the Cardiff Half Marathon and the Wales v Denmark football match.
