Broken-down train delays Wrexham to Bidston services
A broken-down train at Gwersyllt is disrupting services between Wrexham Central and Bidston on Thursday 15 October. Transport for Wales warns of delays of up to 60 minutes and possible cancellations in both directions. Its morning update estimates that the incident will last until 9.30am, with disruption to services continuing until 10.30am. Those are forecasts, rather than a confirmed time for normal running to resume.
Replacement buses from Wrexham General
TfW says Keanes Coaches buses have been organised between Wrexham General and Bidston at no extra cost, with an approximate arrival time of 8.30am. The arrangements are listed for services until 11am. The bus route begins at Wrexham General, rather than Wrexham Central. Road journeys will take longer, and passengers should check station posters and TfW’s station information for calling points.
Check before travelling
TfW says its maintenance team is working with the train crew to resolve the breakdown. Passengers should check the current service update and individual train on TfW’s live map before setting off. This report records the operator’s morning warning. It does not confirm that every train is cancelled or that replacement buses have already arrived.
