Avanti West Coast has introduced Welsh language announcements and information displays onboard its services to and from North Wales.
Working closely with the Welsh Language Commissioner, Avanti said it has reaffirmed its commitment to the region with the last of the 20 modified trains entering service this week.
The work was undertaken by Bombardier at their Central Rivers depot.
“This is a simple but important milestone, one that highlights our commitment to serving North Wales,” said Tim Barton, onboard manager for Avanti West Coast.
“With new trains due to arrive in 2022, additional services next year to Llandudno and plans to move into new offices in Holyhead, the investment is set to delivery real benefits for our customers.
"It’s an exciting time.”
Aled Roberts, The Welsh Language Commissioner said: “We welcome Avanti West Coast's commitment to the Welsh language.
"It is important that passengers in Wales hear Welsh, and realise that it is an official language in Wales. Not only is it an essential service for Welsh speakers, it also raises the awareness of our language among visitors.
