Most


train
services
have
been
restored
on
the
Heart
of
Wales
Line
between
Shrewsbury
and
Swansea,
after
a
derailment
blocked
the
line
between
Llanwrtyd
and
Shrewsbury.

Network
Rail
said
the
incident
had
happened
at
about
07.30
yesterday,
when
one
bogie
of
the
05.22
from
Shrewsbury
left
the
rails
just
outside
Llandrindod
station.
It
added
that
the
derailment
had
been
at
low
speed,
and
that
an
investigation
had
been
launched.

The
train
had
been
running
about
25
minutes
late
when
the
derailment
occurred.

There
were
no
reports
of
injuries
or
significant
damage,
but
trains
on
the
route
were
limited
to
the
section
between
Swansea
and
Llanwyrtd,
while
buses
replaced
trains
between
Llanwyrtd
and
Craven
Arms.

National
Rail
has
warned
that
some
disruption
will
continue
today
(Wednesday).
The
04.20
from
Shrewsbury
to
Llandrindod
and
the
return
working
from
Llandrindod
at
05.50
were
both
cancelled,
while
the
15.17
from
Shrewsbury
to
Swansea
and
the
17.01
from
Llandrindod
to
Shrewsbury
will
also
be
replaced
by
buses.
