Services may be delayed by up to 60 minutes.

We expect the incident to last until 12:00 and disruption to services is expected from 09:50 until 14:00.
We have been made aware of a tree on the line between Cross Keys and Newbridge. As a result, for safety, train services are unable to run through the area. Our colleagues at Network Rail are aware and staff are currently enroute to the affected area to remove the obstruction. We will publish more information here, once we have received an update from Network Rail. Please check back shortly. We apologise for the disruption caused to your journey.
