A "horrendous" train journey left passengers in tears and one missed a funeral, Senedd members have said. Two MSs were caught up in delays on Monday after an incident at Abergavenny which meant a three-hour journey lasted seven hours and passengers were stranded. One train was stationary for four hours without any announcements because the carriage's speaker didn't work.
Conservative MS for Aberconwy Janet Finch-Saunders told Welsh Government minister Lesley Griffiths on Tuesday, March 30. "Three trains, several carriages, and hundreds of passengers left stranded on these trains in warm weather conditions with no ventilation. The first train, we were allowed on the platform for a couple of hours. I left my office with a member of staff at 1 o'clock. I arrived in my flat here, in Cardiff, at 10 o'clock last night. It was the most horrendous situation I've ever witnessed: people crying, people anxious to get to their final destination.
