    Brief

    Transport for Wales Rail Limited (TfWRL) is inviting bus operators to enter into direct contracts to accept rail tickets and eligible concessionary passes during rail service disruptions. Under these arrangements, customers can travel on designated local bus services as alternatives to disrupted rail routes. This program covers planned maintenance, emergency disruptions, and ad hoc service issues. By enabling ticket acceptance on existing bus services, TfWRL aims to maintain passenger journeys, support integrated public transport, reduce costs associated with dedicated replacement vehicles, and minimize disruption to customers. Contracts will be activated as needed to support rail replacement services.
