Between Cardiff Central and Radyr via Llandaf

Description

There is an fault with the signalling system in the Cardiff Central area that is disrupting services running between Cardiff Central and Radyr on the line via Llandaf.

As a result, services running between Cardiff Central and Treherbert will be revised to no longer call at Cardiff Queen Street, Cathays and Llandaf. Some trains operating between these stations via Llandaf may also be diverted to instead run on the line via Fairwater. Where this is the case, journey times will be extended.

Those trains that do operate may also be subject to minor delays.

This is expected to be the case for the rest of the day today.
