THE MP for the new Bangor Aberconwy constituency suffered a train cancellation on her way to her first day at Westminster.

Claire Hughes MP, who won the Bangor Aberconwy seat last week, was due to depart for London yesterday (July 8) for her first day at Westminster.

Members of Parliament are travelling to the capital ahead of today's House of Commons sitting for the first time since the General Election.

But in "news that will shock absolutely no one", Ms Hughes' Avanti West Coast train was cancelled.

The direct train from Bangor to London Euston, which was due to depart at 9.20am yesterday, was cancelled.

The Labour MP took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and said: "In news that will shock absolutely no-one, my Avanti West Coast train down to London for my first day in Westminster has been cancelled."

Andrew Ranger, the new MP for Wrexham, replied to her tweet saying that it would have been his train too, and that they now had "another thing to add to the list of things to tackle".

Ms Hughes won the Bangor Aberconwy seat with a majority of 4,896 votes, finishing ahead of Plaid Cymru candidate Catrin Wager in second and defeating incumbent Conservative MP Robin Millar.
