Cardiff is currently facing a transportation nightmare as urgent bridge repairs have wreaked havoc on rail services, leading to significant cancellations and suspensions.

The crucial work near Cardiff Central Station started on Sunday and is expected to ripple into Monday, affecting several key routes operated by Great Western Railway, Transport for Wales, and CrossCountry.

Rail replacement services are being hurriedly organized to assist stranded passengers, with buses running between Newport and Cardiff Central, as well as Cardiff Central and Caerphilly.

"Major disruption is anticipated to persist until the end of the day on Monday, April 21," warned National Rail, leaving commuters to brace themselves for a tough start to the week.

Travelers are advised to plan ahead and seek alternatives as the city grapples with repair efforts, hoping for a swift return to normalcy.
