The train line where one man died and four people were seriously hurt in a crash is set to reopen one week after the fatality.

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

Four people were seriously injured in the crash near and a further 11 required hospital treatment, according to the Rail Accident Investigations Branch.

The investigation at the site has now concluded and Transport for Wales (TfW) is in the process of removing the two trains while Network Rail said it had been carrying out "thorough checks and safety inspections" ahead of Monday's reopening of the line.

Test trains will run through the area to make sure everything is operating normally before beginning passenger operations on Monday, TfW said.

Passengers have been advised to check before they travel as the incident may still affect train services in the short-term.

Network Rail’s Nick Millington said: "Monday night’s tragic events will forever be etched in my memory and my thoughts remain with all those affected.

"Thankfully, incidents like this are extremely rare on the railway network. We continue to operate one of the safest railway networks in Europe."
