Question
With restrictions easing and passengers returning to the rail network, will the Minister state when a full service will be resumed on the Wrexham-Bidston line and will the Welsh Government be reinstating the last northbound and southbound services of the day and all services at Wrexham Central?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change
The Wrexham to Bidston service is currently running a full service, but terminating/departing at Wrexham General railway station rather than Wrexham Central railway station. Northbound and Southbound services are running, again terminating/departing at Wrexham General rather than Wrexham Central.
Currently due to Covid restrictions, additional time has been given to clean the drivers’ cab and allow handover. To accommodate this change over, all services are departing/terminating at Wrexham General but transport can be organised for those at Wrexham Central if required to travel to Wrexham General for their onwards journey.
