The Severn Tunnel will be closed from 9 to 18 and 25 June for essential track maintenance work.

Rail services are set to be disrupted when the Severn Tunnel is closed for essential track maintenance.

The tunnel, which connects Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire, will be shut from 9-18 June, and on 25 June. Trains between London and South Wales will be diverted between Swindon and Newport and they will not stop at Bristol Parkway.The operation involves Network Rail restoring one line of track from the English end of the tunnel."We advise customers to check the website before travelling," said a spokesperson for Network Rail.

Trains between London and South Wales will be unable to use the alternative route on 10-11 June, so buses will replace trains between Bristol Parkway and Cardiff Central that weekend.
