Arriva Trains Wales also say:

“Following damage caused by challenging weather conditions, several of our trains require essential maintenance. We are working around the clock to get them back into service as soon as possible. However, as a result we have needed to amend some services. 

This means that services are subject to cancellations, and will be formed with fewer carriages.

We will be doing our best to get our services back to normal as soon as possible and we thank passengers for their patience and ask that they check their journeys before travelling.  www.arrivatrains.wales/check”
