The freeze came into effect on Sunday, coinciding with St David's Day.

A Welsh Government statement on the weekend said: "As Wales celebrates St David's Day, the First Minister for Wales, Eluned Morgan, has announced one of the most generous offers on rail fares since the start of devolution.

"This will keep more money in passengers' pockets and encourage more people to take the train.
