People using the railway network are being warned of disruption as “vital” work to the Severn Tunnel’s overhead power lines is due to start.
The tunnel will be closed from today for 11 days, until 20 June, with reduced train services in place and bus replacements operated on some services.
Trains between London and South Wales will stop at Gloucester instead of Bristol Parkway and replacement buses are planned to operate between Bristol Parkway and Newport, as well as Cardiff Central.
The changes will add to travel times between South Wales and the rest of the UK when services would normally use the Tunnel.
