Traveline Cymru provides latest coronavirus travel information as local lockdowns enforced

People across Wales are being urged to access all the latest coronavirus travel information, updates, and news via Traveline Cymru as local lockdowns continue to be enforced. 

 

The public transport information service is reminding travellers to access its four dedicated coronavirus information pages, as pandemic restrictions take effect this month and service timetables continue to change. 

 

Traveline’s pages, which provide up-to-date safety advice, lockdown and travel information, and answer vital questions, are available through www.traveline.cymru.  

 

Traveline’s pages include its Local Lockdown page, which keeps travellers up to date on all the latest local lockdowns and any related travel restrictions and safety measures. 

 

Its Coronavirus Transport Service Updates page, which provides details of all the changes to transport services across Wales and features the latest travel information.  

 

While bus passengers can access all the latest safety information from the Welsh Government and individual operators through the Bus Operator Coronavirus Travel Guidance page. This features information on social distancing measures, contactless payments, face coverings, and cleaning regimes.  

 

Questions surrounding public transport, active travel advice, and many other queries will be answered via the Transport for Wales Coronavirus Travel Guidance page.
