Due to more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time between Newport (South Wales) (NWP) and Ebbw Vale Town (EBB):
Services will be cancelled in both directions between Newport (South Wales) (NWP) and Ebbw Vale Town (EBB).
We expect the incident to last until 23:59 and disruption to services is expected from 02:00 until 23:59.
Due to a shortage of trains fewer services than normal are able to operate between Newport and Ebbw Vale Town in both directions.
A reduced train service will operate on the route with services that would normally start or terminate at Newport not operating in either direction.
Please note direct services between Cardiff Central and Ebbw Vale Town will operate as normal in either direction and remain unaffected by this problem.
