From the FGW▸ website :
Line problem in the Bridgend area.
Train services between Cardiff Central and Bridgend are being disrupted due to signalling problems in the Bridgend area.Engineers are working as fast as possible to restore services to normal. Short notice alterations and delays of up to 60 minutes can be expected.
Some trains are being diverted via an alternative route (which one would assume would be the Vale Of Glamorgan line) causing delays of up to one hour.

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Different location then? Llansamlet is close to Swansea.

Fair comment, John, and sorry for the confusion! I'm not familiar with the locality, I was just looking at the mention of it affecting trains between Cardiff Central, Bridgend and Swansea! I see now that the NR» site referred to 'Signalling problem at Llansamlet, between Bridgend and Swansea'!  |

Just to note that the signalling problem at Bridgend was on the 23rd March.
The post of mine you have linked to was from 18th March.

... which just confirms that I had lost all sense of time, as well! Sorry, I must have been looking at more than one webpage at that time, and I perhaps clicked on the wrong link? |

Unlikely, unfortunately my last blog entry was on the 21st March.

How regularly do we get signalling problems along the South Wales route in general, regardless of location?
