Transport for Wales, along with the rest of the rail industry, is working to support efforts to minimise the spread of coronavirus and to keep services running for necessary travel.
Please follow the latest advice from government and public health officials and please continue to keep services clear for those who need them the most.
If it is necessary for you to travel by National Rail, it is recommended that you wear a face covering (unless you are exempt), try to travel off-peak, keep a 2-metre distance from others, and carry hand sanitiser or wash your hands.
Key workers carrying official NHS photo identity cards travel free on Transport for Wales services until 24 July.
