Mid Wales train crash: Line reopens a week after death

The train line where a man died and four people were seriously injured in a crash is to reopen a week after the deaths.

Passenger Tudor Evans, 66, from Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, died after the train he was on collided with another on the Cambrian line near Llanbrynmair, Powys, on Monday.

Four people were seriously injured in the nearby crash and 11 others needed hospital treatment, according to the Rail Accident Investigation Branch.

The investigation at the scene has now ended and Transport for Wales (TfW) is in the process of removing the two trains, while Network Rail said it had carried out “thorough checks and safety inspections” before the line reopened on Monday .
