Mid Wales train crash: line to reopen a week after death

The railway line on which one person was killed and four seriously injured in an accident will reopen a week after the death.

Passenger Tudor Evans, 66, from Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, died after the train he was on crashed into another on the Cambrian line near Llanbrynmire, Powys, on Monday.

The nearby derailment left four people seriously injured and 11 others requiring hospital treatment, according to the Rail Accident Investigation Unit.

An investigation at the site has now been completed and Transport for Wales (TfW) is in the process of removing the two trains, while Network Rail said it was carrying out “thorough checks and safety checks” ahead of the line’s re-opening on Monday.
