The Story in 60 Seconds

Transport for Wales is urging Wrexham AFC supporters to use a new contactless pay-as-you-go rail payment system for matchday travel. First introduced across North East Wales in May, the scheme allows passengers to tap in and tap out using a contactless card or mobile payment device, aiming to make journeys to the Cae Ras stadium more convenient.

The initiative is being carried out in partnership with Wrexham County Borough Council to promote sustainable travel and reduce road congestion around matchdays. Local officials and rail leaders hope the simplified system will encourage more supporters to choose public transport when travelling to games.
