The 'disgraceful' scene on a train to Cardiff on the day Wales played Belgium - and it had only got as far as Bangor

Football fans who headed from north Wales to Cardiff for a Nations League match have branded the train service a "disgrace" amid scenes of overcrowding.

Supporters questioned why Transport for Wales provided just two carriages for some services to the Welsh capital on Saturday ahead of Wales' 1-1 draw with Belgium at the Cardiff City Stadium. It comes after heavy criticism of the train service for Ed Sheeran's recent gigs in Cardiff.

One Wales fan, Wayne Jones, shared a picture of a packed two-carriage train which was "already full" shortly after 11am when it reached Bangor. In an update at 12.46pm, he posted another picture with the tweet: "Gets better... direct train to Cardiff now terminated at Wrexham. Hundreds waiting for another two carriages. Disgusting!"
