Last Updated: 29/10/2010 22:50 Anyone from Cardiff presumably needed a taxi?....or is there a later train?.... Interesting conumdrum as this was owing to (NOT due to!) vandalism. Technically the TOC doesn't have to compensate etc as not 'railway related delay'....Being so late, I wonder if they did?
