@tfwrail Hi @tfwrail. Will trains from Fairwater be running for Bishop of Llandaff children? The planner shows all City Line trains cancelled

[Andrew Potter @DrAndyPotter]

Looks like the port might be operational now - Stena Estrid has left the berth (but is moored in the port still) while WB Yeats is now on berth having spent the afternoon offering sightseeing along the Gwynedd coastline

[Andrew Potter @DrAndyPotter]

Hopefully this closure is little more than precautionary but given there's already a berth not operating, this is a concern for Irish Sea freight and passengers.

At the moment, the WB Yeats seems to be waiting south of Anglesey rather than going to back to Dublin or elsewhere

+ Port of Holyhead is currently closed +

Reports that the port is closed after a 'berthing incident' involving the Stena Estrid earlier. The company said all passengers and freight operators "disembarked as normal".

"Holyhead Port is temporarily closed and ferry operators are notifying customers."

🎄If Network Rail did Christmas adverts...this would be ours!

Just outside Cardiff, a rail freight terminal is helping to deliver Christmas across Wales and Borders.

🎁Every December, around 250,000 tonnes of festive food, drink and goods move through Wentloog, heading for supermarket shelves – and eventually homes – in time for Christmas.

We’ve teamed up with @Freightliner to take you behind the scenes, celebrating the vital role rail freight plays in keeping goods moving, supporting the economy and delivering a greener Christmas.

From all of us at Network Rail Wales and Borders and Freightliner – have a Merry Freightmas and a Track-tacular New Year!

Hi @BBCWalesNews. Maybe you want to use a picture of a First Bus bus at a location they serve, rather than @Cardiffbus at the Cardiff Interchange.

Fascinating @ciltuk visit to Freightliner's terminal at Wentloog today. A critical part of supply chains across South Wales and further afield, and across a wide range of products (including bagged wine in containers).

Playing around with CoPilot tonight, I asked it to draw me a simplified schematic map of @tfwrail services, highlighting Cardiff routes. This was what it came up with🤣.

And here's a few other photos from Las Palmas and Maspalomas 🌞

[Andrew Potter @DrAndyPotter]

Back from a week in Gran Canaria and, while there, sampled the @guaguasglobal services. Impressed by the quality of service. Here's the busy terminus at Faro de Maspalomas.
