Rail and bus passengers across Wales and the Borders are being urged to check travel information before setting out as Yellow weather warnings for snow and ice remain in place until Tuesday.

Scattered sleet and snow showers, along with icy patches, may cause delays and disruption on Monday and into Tuesday morning. Transport for Wales and Network Rail are closely monitoring conditions across the network to respond to any issues as they arise.

Passengers are also advised to take extra care when travelling to and from stations, as car parks and platforms may be slippery. Poor road conditions are also affecting rail replacement services and TrawsCymru bus routes.

Patrick Allinson, Head of Control Operations at Transport for Wales, said:

"A yellow weather warning for snow and ice is in place across Wales. Journeys may be disrupted so please check our Live Map and All Updates page for the latest travel information. We're working closely with Network Rail to keep services running safely and encourage passengers to plan ahead, wrap up warm and allow extra time for their journey."

Chris Howchin, Senior Network Delivery Manager at Network Rail Wales and Borders, added:

“Snow and ice can have a significant impact on the railway, particularly on points and other track equipment which rely on moving parts and can be affected by very low temperatures. Our teams are working around the clock to inspect the network and respond to weather-related issues, and working closely with Transport for Wales and other operators to keep trains moving safely. Passengers are advised to check before they travel and allow extra time for their journey.”
