Description

A safety inspection of the track at Rhyl means trains have to run at a reduced speed on some lines. As a result, trains between Llandudno Junction and Prestatyn may be cancelled, delayed by up to 45 minutes or revised.

Disruption is expected until 20:15.

Avanti West Coast customer advice:

If your train is cancelled, your ticket is valid on one of the two Avanti West Coast services immediately before your booked train, or one of the two immediately after.

If you no longer wish to travel because your train is delayed or cancelled, you can request a full refund from where you bought your ticket.
