Fatal Train Collision in Wales Claims One Life and Injures 15

A train traveling from Shrewsbury to Aberystwyth collided with a stationary train near Llanbrynmair, prompting an investigation into the causes of the crash.

  • 66-year-old Tudor Evans, returning from a holiday in Italy, was the sole fatality in the crash.
  • The collision occurred on the Cambrian Line, a single track, where trains travel in opposite directions.
  • Initial investigations suggest low wheel-to-rail adhesion may have contributed to the crash.
  • Network Rail and Transport for Wales are conducting a detailed investigation, with findings expected in several months.
  • The Cambrian line remains closed as engineers work to prevent future incidents and ensure safety.
