A railway line connecting mid and south Wales has reopened after four weeks of repair works were completed.

The Heart of Wales line between Llanwrtyd Wells and Swansea closed in early July in order to fix a damaged bridge.

Worn timbers on a rail-over-river bridge at Pontarddulais was found to be unsafe, and the railway line was closed between Hendy Junction and Pontarddulais until all safety repairs were completed.

Today, (Monday, August 3) rail services between the two stations have resumed for essential travel only.

However, Sugar Loaf station near Llanwrtyd Wells and Hopton Heath station near Knighton remains temporarily closed as social distancing isn't possible due to the short platform length.
