Train services between Aberystwyth and Machynlleth cancelled

Passengers travelling on the Cambrian Line face significant disruption on Monday, July 13, with no rail services running between Aberystwyth and Machynlleth in either direction until the end of the day.

Transport for Wales (TfW) said the problems were caused by "more trains than usual needing repairs at the same time", with depot teams working to ensure onboard air conditioning systems are fully functional.

As a result, services between Shrewsbury and Aberystwyth have been affected, with a reduced number of trains also able to run between Machynlleth and Shrewsbury.

TfW said rail replacement buses have been arranged between Aberystwyth and Machynlleth at no extra cost to passengers.

The operator has also advised customers that road transport will take longer than train services and to allow extra time for their journeys.

Passengers can also use local bus services, including the T2 and X28, at no additional cost where possible.

TfW warned that services still running between Aberystwyth and Shrewsbury are expected to be busy and conditions onboard could be very warm.

A spokesperson said: "Customers who are feeling unwell should consider whether they need to travel.

"If you do travel, you should bring water, stay hydrated and speak to a member of the onboard team immediately if you begin to feel unwell."

The disruption is expected to last until the end of Monday, with passengers urged to check before travelling.
