Rail passengers warned not to travel unless 'absolutely essential' and told to expect reduced service

Train users have been advised to only travel if "absolutely essential" during this week's amber-alert heatwave. The message follows record-breaking temperature predictions at 37C in some parts of Wales - read more about the weather where you are here.

The latest travel warning has come from Network Rail, who has warned of travel disruption across Wales and England due to the weather. A spokesman for the company, Jake Kelly, told BBC Radio 4: "Our advice very strongly to customers in England and Wales today and tomorrow is to only travel if absolutely essential, and to expect a very reduced train service and delays."

Mr Kelly added that service resuming as normal on Wednesday "will depend on the damage that the weather does to the infrastructure." Their warning follows Transport for Wales' announcement that some services would be changing due to the extreme heat - read more about that here.
