Between Wrexham Central and Bidston
Description
The earlier faulty train between Wrexham General and Bidston has had to be removed from service, meaning there are now not enough trains available to run a full service on this line.
As a result of this issue, a reduced service will operate between these stations until approximately 20:30.
Customer advice:
A bus will operate in place of the 18:17 Wrexham Central to Bidston service, and also the 19:33 Bidston to Wrexham Central service. These will call at all stations on the route.
Rail replacement buses remain on standby to assist customers in completing their journeys where possible, at no extra cost. Please see station staff for further details.
Please note, journey times will be extended when travelling using rail replacement transport. You should allow extra time to complete your journey.
