Trains on the Vale of Glamorgan line will be suspended next month due to essential maintenance works.

Network Rail is urging passengers to plan ahead as they prepare to carry out drainage and track maintenance between Barry and Bridgend from Sunday 13th to Saturday 19th July.

All trains between Rhoose Cardiff Airport and Bridgend will be replaced by bus services throughout the week "to maintain connectivity".

Network Rail said its teams will be working to replace and upgrade drainage systems beneath the tracks, along with rail testing and maintenance work.

A spokesperson added: "These activities are being delivered through a combination of day and night shifts to minimise disruption to rail services."

"Passengers are advised to plan ahead and allow extra time for journeys...we thank everyone for their patience while we carry out this vital work."

Track renewal and maintenance work will also affect services between Bridgend and St Fagans from late on Saturday 5th July to early on Monday 7th July - with Transport for Wales and Great Western Railway trains being diverted via Barry.
