Due to lightning damaging the signalling system at Clarbeston Road (CLR):
Services may be delayed by up to 45 minutes.
Services may be cancelled at Carmarthen (CMN).
We expect the incident to last until 19:00 and disruption to services is expected from 14:15 until 20:00.
Following a lightning strike, we have been made aware of a signalling problem at Clarbeston Road
As a result, train services will not be able to run through the area until the signalling system is working normally.
Our colleagues at Network Rail are aware of the problem and technicians are currently en route to the affected area/signalling.
