North Wales coast, Saturday 20 June

[mmh]

TFW have pulled all Liverpool and Birmingham services today, leaving only the Manchester and Cardiff trains.

Anyone know what the excuse for this is? There's nothing listed on their planned disruption page.

Leaves an abysmal service, particularly for a summer Saturday. No direct trains to Llandudno, just an hourly Llandudno Junction shuttle.

That's really bad. Looking at Real-time trains it looks planned though as services aren't listed in the working timetable and aren't showing as cancelled either

The transport for Wales service map shows a blue line for the Coast, "amended service" but isn't specific

A quick look on the Transport for Wales website provides all the information. So they haven’t just “pulled” services because they feel like it.
