Transport for Wales said no trains will be operating between Machynlleth and Shrewsbury.

Beach-goers may need to plan a different journey as the popular route will be replaced by buses, Transport for Wales (TfW) tweeted today.

Work will be ongoing from Saturday, May 6 to Sunday, May 21.

The route, which takes just over an hour and sees 23 trains a day, will likely be replaced by a coach, although some of TfW's services are lower-floor buses.

Tickets cost around £20 each.

Those who require assisted travel are asked to contact the team on 03330 050 501.
