ARRIVA Trains Wales has launched a new and improved live travel update service in a bid to provide customers with up-to date travel information and news.

Journey Check provides instant information about customers’ chosen journey from delays and cancellations caused by the weather, to scheduled improvement works, and can be used by passengers to get live updates on the move or by getting travel updates about regular journeys by email.

An Arriva Trains Wales spokesman said: “In winter, weather conditions can often lead to delays in services and although it can be frustrating for our customers, their safety is our priority, so we are asking all our customers to check their travel plans before setting out.

“Arriva Trains Wales has recently launched a new and improved on-line Journey Check Service – www.arrivatrainswales.co.uk/check - that provides live service information from our customer’s PCs or mobile devices.

"Customers can also sign up to an email alert service for their regular journeys.”

Passengers who sign up for free Arriva Trains Wales Journey Check alerts by November 30 will be automatically entered into a free prize draw where they could win an iPad Air 2 or one of five return tickets for two anywhere on Arriva’s network.
