• Service restrictions imposed after forecast of potentially unprecedented conditions
• Protecting passenger safety will mean widely reduced speed limits

Network Rail is urging passengers in South Wales to plan their journeys in advance as work continues to electrify the South Wales Main Line.

Mae’r llinell, sy’n rhedeg o Gyffordd Llandudno i Ogledd Llanrwst, wedi ailagor yn llawn i deithwyr.

The line, which runs between Llandudno Junction and Blaenau Ffestiniog, has reopened fully for passengers.

This week’s scorching temperatures are set to impact train passengers, Network Rail warned today.

• Whilst most of the railway operates normally in hot conditions, Network Rail and South Western Railway are working together to mitigate the impact of what could be record-breaking temperatures
• Network Rail has activated its ‘extreme weather action teams’ (EWATs) on the South Western Railway network to minimise heat-related infrastructure problems and keep passengers moving safely
• Passengers are advised to check services before travelling, with large numbers expected to head out across the south west to enjoy the warm weather over the next few days
