    Brief

    Transport for Wales Rail Limited seeks to establish direct contracts with bus operators to accept rail tickets during service disruptions. Under these arrangements, customers with valid rail tickets or eligible concessionary passes can travel on designated local bus services when rail routes are disrupted. This creates a coordinated ticket acceptance system for planned maintenance, emergency situations, and ad hoc service interruptions. The program supports integrated public transport, maintains customer journey continuity, and reduces the need for dedicated rail replacement vehicles by utilizing existing scheduled bus capacity. Bus operators accepting these tickets will be providing a critical service that enhances passenger experience during disruptions while optimizing the use of existing transport infrastructure.
