CrossCountry services between Cardiff Central and Nottingham

Description

A shortage of train drivers between Cardiff Central and Nottingham means that fewer CrossCountry trains are able to run on this route.

As a result, some trains on this route will be cancelled.

Disruption is expected until the end of the day.

Customer advice:

You can use your ticket at no extra cost on the following:

  • The two CrossCountry services operating before and after your cancelled service

  • Great Western Railway services between Cardiff Central and Ashchurch for Tewkesbury via Gloucester and Cheltenham Spa in both directions

  • Transport for Wales services between Cardiff Central and Cheltenham Spa in both directions

  • East Midlands Railway services between Derby and Nottingham in both directions

If you decide to travel from a different station due to this disruption and need to return to that station later, you will also be able to use your existing ticket to do this at no extra cost.
