Separate evening warning

A separate notice warns that some Machynlleth to Shrewsbury services will be disrupted by a shortage of trains at Machynlleth depot. TfW gives a disruption window of 19:00 to 21:30 on Friday, with the underlying incident expected to last until 21:00. Those are estimates, so check the live service page before travelling.

What happened in the morning

TfW had announced the cancellation of the 06:48 Welshpool to Aberystwyth and 08:27 Aberystwyth to Shrewsbury trains, with Lloyds replacement buses arranged at no extra cost. Those departure details came from the notice checked late on 24 September; they are not a new warning for Saturday.
