Rail passengers left on the platform after hundreds try to pile into single carriage on Transport for Wales service

Rail passengers have criticised Transport for Wales after their service between Cardiff and Carmarthen saw hundreds of people try to pile into a single carriage. Some were left to find alternative ways home after the 11.15pm Carmarthen service on Wednesday night (July 20) arrived at Cardiff made up of just one train carriage, with people describing the minimal service as "disgusting".

It had been a busy night in the capital, with thousands of students from Cardiff University and their families descending on the city for their graduation ceremonies. At the same time, Michael Bublé was performing at Cardiff Castle while HAIM were playing at the Motorpoint Arena.

These events left hundreds of people trying to make their way out of the city later in the night. However, those travelling to Swansea or even further onto Carmarthen were left frustrated when they discovered that only a single carriage had been provided for the late-night service, only for the next train at 11.51pm to be cancelled completely.
