Rail passengers are being reminded to check before travelling this week as industrial action takes place.

Whilst Transport for Wales isn’t involved in the industrial action by the RMT Union nor ASLEF union, the operator says that its services will be busier than usual due to a reduced timetable being in operation by other operators.

The RMT Union will take strike action on Thursday 20th July, Saturday 22nd July and Saturday 29th July, and the ASLEF union has imposed an overtime ban from Monday 17th July until Saturday 22nd July.

Transport for Wales services will run as timetabled, but the operator says passengers on the following routes should plan ahead:

• Carmarthen – Swansea – Bridgend – Cardiff Central – Newport – Severn Tunnel Junction
• Gloucester – Cheltenham
• North Wales – Chester – Crewe – Manchester
• Shrewsbury – Birmingham International
