Due to a fault with the signalling system between Bargoed and Rhymney train services to and from these stations may be subject to disruption on all routes. Disruption is expected until 13:00 23/08.

Additional Information

Due to a fault with temporary traffic lights on the BGD RHY section (part of the ongoing CPH RHY blockade), buses are currently unable to operate safely through the affected area.
The traffic lights are stuck on red from the BGD side, and turned off from the RHY side.
This has led to confusion and some vehicles jumping the red, which is now increasingly dangerous as traffic builds.
The road is single file and located on a brow of a hill, offering no visibility or way of knowing if opposing traffic is approaching.
The issue has been reported to Core Highways, who are responsible for the lights. They are trying to get an engineer out as soon as possible.
Until further notice, buses will not be operating through this stretch for safety reasons.
No alternative diversion is available due to the road layout.
will provide updates as soon as the situation changes.



It is helpful that there is a detailed explanation of the situation as at first sight I was confused as to how a fault with the signalling system could be affecting the RRB service.

There will not be a delay code that they can input to state 'due to a fault with road traffic lights'.

At least they have a full detailed reason so people can clearly understand what is going on.

Although they could have used the proper place names rather than the station codes
