Disruption to train services as crowds descend on Cardiff Central Station after World Cup qualifier

The atmosphere in Wales was electric on Sunday evening as the nation celebrated Wales' qualification for the World Cup. However, after the partying was done it was time for fans to head home, only for many to run into difficulty while doing so.

Delayed and cancelled trains meant many struggled to get home, with reports of trains throughout the Vale of Glamorgan cancelled and train services not running late enough. Rhyd Cole, owner of Turf clothing, from Bridgend, was among those who struggled to get home on Sunday, June 5. He described the situation at Cardiff Central Station as an "absolute shambles".

He explained: "We were in Gareth Bale's bar and left about ten to ten, we got to the train station and the train we were meant to get was 15 minutes late."
