Extra services and better connections as new train timetable introduced
Additional services to run across the Wales and Borders network
The Welsh Government says a new train timetable will bring more services and better connections.
The new timetable includes several changes, such as an additional hourly service between Chester and Wrexham.
The Heart of Wales line, which links Swansea and Shrewsbury, will see an extra train in each direction daily.
There are changes for South Wales with three later last trains running from Cardiff towards Treherbert, Aberdare, and Merthyr Tydfil.
The Coryton line will now have a new hourly service on Sundays.
Ken Skates, Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales, highlighted the benefits of the revised timetable.
“Rail connectivity is absolutely vital in driving prosperity," Skates said.
“These changes will make a real difference to customers, who will benefit from more services and greater connectivity. This has been made possible by our £800m investment in brand-new trains for the Wales and Borders network.
“Among the changes we will see the doubling of trains between Wrexham and Chester and a later service from the capital to valley communities.
In South Wales, new TfW Pay As You Go (PAYG) fares promise “fairer and simpler” ticketing, according to Skates, with an introduction of PAYG in North Wales “coming soon.”
