Trains running through the Severn Tunnel between Bristol and South Wales will be impacted during June due to rail track upgrades. Great Western Railway Services (GWR) has confirmed that the work on the key route is to ensure ongoing safety of commuters.
The dates on which train travel will be impacted are from Friday 9 June to Sunday 18 June, and on Sunday 25 June. Additional engineering work will also affect trains between Newport and Cardiff Central on the weekend of 10th and 11th June.
David Bailey, GWR’s customer service manager for South Wales said: “These upgrades in the Severn Tunnel form part of an ongoing programme of work that will enable us to maintain services for those travelling to or from South Wales. We’ve been working with other train companies to provide alternatives to ensure that our customers can still complete their journeys during this engineering work.”
