Work on a Powys railway line that will see buses replace trains will get under way tomorrow.
Network Rail has said the Heart of Wales line will need to be closed for essential work from Saturday (April 18) until Thursday (April 23).
Buses will replace trains all day between Llandrindod and Llandovery, Transport for Wales has now confirmed, with further works also set to take place in the other direction next month.
Work between Shrewsbury and Llandrindod will take place from May 9 to 10.
The essential work will include vegetation management and level crossing maintenance, which Network Rail says will help keep the railway safe and reliable for passengers and freight customers.
What this means for passengers:
- Buses will replace trains between Llandrindod and Llandovery from Saturday, April 18, to Thursday, April 23.
- An amended train service will run between Llandovery and Carmarthen/Swansea
- Some services will be retimed, running earlier or later than usual
Passengers are urged to plan ahead and check before they travel, as journey times may be longer.
Passengers can check the latest travel information with their train operator or via National Rail enquiries.
