Passengers might have to pre-book bus and train tickets in future to help prevent the spread of coronavirus, Wales' economy minister has warned.

Ken Skates said space on services would be "vastly reduced" for passenger safety.

It comes as travellers are being warned by a Welsh train operator to only use services if "absolutely essential".
Transport for Wales said rail journeys had fallen 95% over the last 10 weeks.

Leyton Powell, Transport for Wales' safety and assurance director, said: "Only travel by rail if it's absolutely essential and you have no other means of transport available."
