Some of this information is also required in support of the Welsh Government/National Health Service Covid-19 contact tracing arrangements. This will be retained securely for 21 days after the date of the visit. None will be passed to any other party.
‘Compartments’ not reserved 24 hours before departure, and reserved ‘compartments’ not claimed and paid for 20 minutes before departure, will be made available for general sale.
