Train Services between Chester and Holyhead are subject to delays this afternoon after a power failure knocked out the signalling system near Llandudno Junction.

The National Rail Website states: “A fault with the signalling system at Llandudno Junction is resulting in all lines being blocked through this station.“

“Trains may be delayed by up to 50 minutes or cancelled until approximately 8pm.”

Afternoon all.

Due to a power failure affecting the signalling system, there are currently no trains running along the North Wales Coast currently.

Disruption is severe, but @networkrail are doing their best to rectify the issue. Please be patient with @tfwrail staff.
