The top of Christchurch Street will be closed from 08:00 on Monday 26th February until Wednesday 28th February. Service 23 will be diverting via Baker Street in both directions.
There will also be temporary traffic lights on City Road during this time so there will be delays to the service, please allow extra time for your journey.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
For unlimited travel from 4am to 3.59am the following day, our day ticket gives you unlimited travel across the entire First Cymru network, from Pembroke Dock to Cardiff.
