While the vast majority of services will not be affected, customers using Transport for Wales services should still ensure they double check their departure, arrival and connection times.

Transport for Wales planning and performance director Colin Lea said it was “always sensible to plan ahead”.

“Whenever you are travelling, you should check your travel details both in advance and on the day of travel itself.

“Our timetable isn’t changing drastically but for other operators it may be a different story so don’t assume your train will leave at the same time it did last month or last year.

“Measures we brought in to ensure customers can travel safer," Mr Lea said.

Customers returning to the network after several months are reminded that face coverings are compulsory on trains and stations unless exempt and that it was essential to have a valid ticket before boarding.

A Capacity Checker tool is available to give an indication of how busy trains is likely to be.
