A fire next to the track between Newport (South Wales) and Cardiff Central means all lines are blocked. Trains running between these stations may be cancelled, delayed by up to 60 minutes or revised.
Major disruption is expected until 18:00.
A visual disruption map video is available.
Your ticket can be used at no extra cost on the following services:
Road transport will be requested to operate between Newport and Cardiff Central. An update will follow as soon as possible.
If you decide to travel from a different station due to this disruption and need to return to that station later, you will also be able to use your existing ticket to do this at no extra cost
Unfortunately, any seat reservations will not be carried over to another train, but Coach B, H and L are the unreserved coaches on CrossCountry services (where available) so please head to them.
All trains between Bristol Parkway, Newport and Cardiff Central are currently suspended.
If your train is cancelled, you may travel on either of the two services before, or two services after, your original train. If these are peak services or less flexible, you can still travel with your original ticket, at no extra cost.
