Train lines are expected to be disrupted over the next few weeks as work continues to aid the development of the South Wales Metro. Transport for Wales (TfW) said it's continuing to move forward with the building of the huge project with major works being undertaken across the Core Valley Lines in the spring.
The transformation of the Core Valley Lines for the Metro, which has been part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund through Welsh Government will enable faster, more frequent services between Cardiff and the heads of the valleys. This week has already seen some changes to services, as from Monday, March 28 train users have seen the current evening Sunday to Thursday rail replacement bus services between Pontypridd and Radyr extended to and from Cardiff Central.
This is because engineers are carrying out piling and foundation works in preparation for the installation of overhead line equipment. Evening city line services in Cardiff are also set to be replaced by buses from Monday, April 4 between Monday and Thursday only.
