If you are planning to come into Cardiff by train to start your Christmas shopping this weekend, you had better check before you travel.
There are going to be cancellations and disruption on several train lines as "essential" work is being carried out in the city.
The city's Queen Street station is going to be closed and other lines affected as essential upgrade work is being carried out on Saturday and Sunday (November 23 and 24).
Services will be amended as follows:
- There will be no City Line/Coryton/Cardiff Bay services, alternative road transport will be available (Saturday only for City and Coryton lines)
- Rhymney Line services will terminate at Heath High Level station. Bus services will run between Caerphilly and Cardiff Central.
- There will be reduced frequency on the Merthyr/Aberdare and Treherbert services and they will divert around the City Line (running direct between Cardiff Central and Radyr)
- There will be no train services to and from Llandaff and Cathays. Bus services will run between Radyr and Cardiff Central calling at Llandaf and Cathays and Cardiff Queen Street.
- Penarth, Barry Island and Vale of Glamorgan services will also not call at Cardiff Queen Street, Cathays and Llandaf.
The work comes after Transport for Wales announced that the number of trains running in Wales on a Sunday is going to increase.
They say the changes which will see a 40% increase in services across the country.
They have also announced increased capacity trains for weekday services in December, which will include more four-carriage trains on Valley Lines and more modern trains on routes between Maesteg and Cheltenham, Cardiff and Ebbw Vale, and North Wales and Manchester.
