Title: Flood disruption in south Wales
Post by: anthony215 on October 01, 2010, 16:39:48
Heard earlier that some services have been tunred back at/ started from  Port Talbot Parkway due to flooding in the Neath area:

According to my brother who was caught  out at cardiff central that some local services were also subject to disruption/cancellation due to flooding near Pontyclun.


 I Have noticed that during heavy the rail the Swansea district line is flooded underneave were the eastbound track passes under the mianline just  before Briton Ferry.

Anybody know where in the Neath area the flooding is?

All I know is, for someone who took the day off to watch the Ryder cup on TV, that it rained a lot in Wales today!

Certainly plenty of standing water where I am
