No foul play in Wales train crash

-

No evidence of foul play has been found in an investigat­ion into a freight train that derailed and then caught fire in south Wales, police have said.

The train had 25 wagons, each holding up to 76 tonnes of diesel or gas oil, and came off the tracks in Llangennec­h, near Llanelli, on Wednesday night.

The derailment “resulted in a significan­t spillage of fuel and a major fire”. But British Transport Police said criminal involvemen­t in the incident has been ruled out.
