Travel restrictions between Wales and England remain in place today despite the firebreak coming to an end.

Rail firm Transport for Wales said there are no restrictions on travel within Wales from today (9 November), but travel will only be possible across the border into England border with a reasonable excuse.

Examples include travelling for work, education, a medical appointment, legal requirement or compassionate grounds.

Cross-border travel from England to Wales is not allowed unless one of the exceptions in the English regulations applies.

James Price, CEO of Transport for Wales, said: “As the changes to national restrictions come into force in both Wales and England, we want to make sure there is a clear message for travellers using all forms of transport.

“Travel between Wales and England is only permitted with a reasonable excuse. The Welsh Government has been very clear this does not include things such as visiting hospitality venues or retail outlets.

“We would once again like to thank the public for their understanding, the overwhelming majority of people have been abiding by the rules and we hope this continues when the changes come into force in Wales from Monday.”
