Rail and airport strikes are set to cause significant disruption for people travelling into and out of Wales over the festive period and in the new year. Train passengers should prepare for disruption across the Wales and Borders network during December and January, Transport For Wales (TfW) has said.
The National Union of Rail, Maritime, and Transport Workers (RMT) has announced strike action will take place on December 13 to 14, 16 to 17, and 24 to 27 as well as January 3 to 4 and 6 to 7. TfW said it is not involved in the industrial action resulting from the dispute between unions and Network Rail but it's warned it will be unable to operate rail services on Network Rail infrastructure during the strikes.
It's also said it will be carrying out engineering works over the festive period and new year which means some lines will be closed and bus replacements will be available instead. Passengers should also be aware some bus operators in Wales will be operating on a reduced timetable over the Christmas period.
