Description
Lines have now reopened following a fault with the signalling system between Cardiff Central and Bridgend. However, whilst service recovers, trains may still be disrupted.
Heavy congestion has built up in and around the Cardiff Central area, causing further disruption to services in the area.
As a result of both of these issues, Transport for Wales trains may be cancelled, delayed by up to 30 minutes or revised.
Please note, Great Western Railway services are no longer affected.
This is expected until 16:00.
