Saturday: Services appear to be back to normal on Wrexham to Bidston line. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Friday: Transport for Wales (TfW) has said train services between Wexham and Bidston, which call at Shotton have been cancelled today due to what it describes as ‘resource availability.’ ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

It’s not exactly clear what ‘resource availability’ means, it has in the past been used to describe a shortage of staff and a shortage of trains. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Either way, there are no services running on the line currently and it looks unlikely there will be the rest of the day. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

TfW’s website says, “the 13:34 Wrexham General to Bidston due 14:30 will be cancelled.
This is due to resource availability.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The same message has been applied to all other timetabled trains after the 13:34. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The website also says: “Rail replacement road transport will be provided for the altered services.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
