Passengers travelling between South Wales and England are being warned to expect disruption later this month as major engineering work is carried out in the Severn Tunnel.

Network Rail will close the railway between Newport and Bristol Parkway from 23 May until the morning of 9 June while engineers carry out a major overhaul of the tunnel’s overhead power system.

During the closure, replacement buses will operate between Newport and Bristol Parkway, while some long-distance services between London and south Wales will be diverted via Gloucester.
