The Ebbw Vale railway line is set to close for nine days in order for major upgrades to be made to stations on the route. Passengers are being urged to check their journey plans before travelling with no rail services operating on the line while work is carried out.

The line will be closed between Saturday, October 22, and Sunday, October 30, with rail replacement services running for passengers during this time. Get the latest traffic and travel news sent straight to your inbox for free by signing up to the WalesOnline newsletter.
