Trevor Greenfield, 74, and his wife, Eileen, 68, were among the group of eight passengers stranded at Swindon, having boarded the train from London Paddington to Carmarthen.

A man found dead lying naked in a field during cold weather likely died from hypothermia, and was under the influence of drugs at the time of his death, a coroner has ruled. Aaron Davies, 31, was found by a farmer checking his livestock in a remote area near Llandridod Wells, Powys, in January 2023. An inquest into his death in Pontypridd heard Mr Davies removed his clothes about 700m (0.4 miles) from where he was found due to "paradoxical undressing" brought on by hypothermia.
