A shortage of train crew has led to travel disruption.

Services between Pwllheli and Machynlleth were affected from 9.34am, with the disruption expected to last until 11.30am.

Transport for Wales (TfW) cancelled the 9.34am service and warned passengers to expect delays on other trains along the route.

"We have organised buses to run between Pwllheli and Machynlleth to assist customers to complete journeys where possible at no extra cost.

"These will arrive at Pwllheli at approximately 09:34 provided by Lloyds, calling all stops to Machynlleth."

Replacement road transport will remain in place until noon to support affected passengers.

TfW has advised travellers to allow extra time for their journeys, as road transport will take longer than the usual rail service.
