Holyhead: Nesting gulls delay train’s final journey

The empty train which needed to be moved is a class 175, which was used by Transport for Wales until the whole fleet was withdrawn from service in 2023.

A number of them had been stored in sidings at Holyhead before being moved to Swansea.

The last of the trains was due to be moved south on Monday.

Network Rail said the empty train would be taken out of the siding on another day, using an alternative track, so that the gulls could finish nesting undisturbed.

A spokesperson said: “An empty train was unable to be moved from the sidings at Holyhead station this morning owing to seagulls nesting on a relief line.

“The unit was scheduled to travel to Landore in Swansea but the gulls – a protected species – have set up nest on the track.

“An alternative route out of Holyhead was blocked by another train, for which no crew were available as no journeys were planned until later in the day.”
