British Transport Police are investigating but a spokesman said it was unclear what exactly happened in the incident at 0015 GMT on Saturday 24/11/2007.

The man was found dead at the side of the line at Llansamlet station. He has been identified and his next-of kin have been informed , said police.

The man is thought to have joined the train in Newport at 2315 GMT on Friday.

He was believed to have been travelling with a group of friends on the train which was going from London Paddington to Swansea.
