Passengers will be able to catch a direct link to the airport

A new rail link is to provide passengers in mid Wales with a direct link to Birmingham airport later this year.

Arriva Trains Wales' service every two hours from Aberystwyth finishes at the city's New Street station at present.

But from December the company will extend the link so it stops at Birmingham International.

Trains in mid Wales use the Cambrian line, which links the region with stations across England.

Arriva Trains added that a similar service to Birmingham airport would commence from Chester from December.
