One week to go: Passengers reminded to check before travelling
Region & Route: Wales & Western: Wales & Borders
Essential railway upgrades mean buses will replace trains between Port Talbot Parkway and Swansea for 12 days from the end of January.
From Monday 26 January to Friday 6 February, and again all day on Sunday 8 February, engineers will be working around the clock to renew the railway near Landore Viaduct, close to Swansea Football Stadium. To allow the work to be carried out safely, the railway will be closed between Port Talbot Parkway and Swansea during these periods.
The work includes renewing rails, sleepers, switches and crossings, and points, as well as refurbishing Landore Viaduct, which supports the railway as it crosses the River Tawe. These upgrades are vital to keeping the railway safe, reliable and resilient for passengers and freight services.
During the closures, Transport for Wales and Great Western Railway services into West Wales will be affected, with buses replacing trains between Port Talbot Parkway and Swansea, for the duration of the works.
