Cardiff Service suspended.

Train services are being disrupted due to poor weather conditions between Acton Main Line and Acton Main Line.Short notice cancellations can be expected. All services departing London Paddington at 15 minutes past the hour to Cardiff Central have been cancelled. All services departing Cardiff Central to London Paddington at 55 minutes past the hour have been cancelled

Another snowy morning - but I know that I wouldn't want to be out there trying to run the trains through the snow - so a big "thank you" to all of those who are doing so. Must be chaos at Acton Main Line - so bad they named it twice Wink

Note for any readers unfamiliar with the London to South Wales service - there are two trains an hour from London to Cardiff, with one of them carrying on to Swansea. Only the short workings are suspended throughout the day - the longer workings to Swansea are running.

A little harsh. Angry

The situation is fluid and grahame was posting at 05.50 this morning.

AFAIK^▸ ... from the official site

"Train services are being disrupted due to poor weather conditions between London Paddington and Cardiff Central.Short notice cancellations can be expected.

I'm sure it would be prudent to check before setting out for a journey.

Haven't I been lucky with rest days this week! Grin

Yeah ... maybe it was a little harsh (but only a little). I DID^▸ make a confusing post with two places I should have said "Swansea" being replaced by "Cardiff". I have gone back and corrected the original post (in Italics so that it doesn't make Shazz's comment look odd) ...
