Transport for Wales has announced that their Valleys rail service will not be running this week as they complete engineering work on the railway line for the new South Wales Metro.
The impacted railway lines are Cardiff Central to Pontypridd and Cardiff Central to Radyr via the City Line from Tuesday, September 20 to Friday, September 23. The rail line between Radyr to Pontypridd will also be closed all day on Saturday, September 24 to Sunday, September 25 as they complete further work on the line.
Transport for Wales said buses will replace the trains all day during the engineering work for the South Wales Metro, but it has already left commuters late for work this morning. One person estimated that 150 were waiting for a replacement bus at Pontypridd Station and complained that people could lose their jobs if public transport continues to make them late without warning.
