RAIL users in Powys who use the popular Heart of Wales line are likely to experience extended journey times for the next week-and-a-half due to engineering work.
Transport for Wales (TfW) said the Heart of Wales Line will be operating rail replacement services from today (September 12), into next week, until Thursday, September 21.
The work is likely to affect commuters between Llandrindod Wells and Llanwrtyd Wells travelling to Hereford and Shrewsbury, with the work taking place between Hereford and Shrewsbury, with buses replacing trains.
