This week, from Monday 20 June to Sunday 26 June, is Armed Forces Week. Armed Forces Week is a chance to show your support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community: from currently serving troops to veterans, cadets, and Service families.

In August 2021 a section of Ffordd Bleddyn road was closed to vehicles to allow for improvement works to be carried out for the creation of an under-bridge tunnel, which will allow our trains to enter the depot site from the existing tracks just South of Taff’s Well Station. Since then, a footpath for cyclists and pedestrians has remained open.

Transport for Wales (TfW) is advising customers not to travel by train on 21, 23 and 25 June, with the majority of their rail services suspended as a result of industrial action resulting from the dispute between RMT and Network Rail.

The National Union of Rail, Maritime, and Transport Workers (RMT) has announced strike action will take place on Tuesday 21 June, Thursday 23 June and Saturday 25 June, which will significantly disrupt the rail network across the whole of the UK.

Trains will begin to arrive at Transport for Wales’ new stabling yard in Barry from Wednesday 8 June.
