Llangennech diesel train catches fire after derailing

A freight train carrying diesel has derailed and burst into flames.

People living within 800m of the blaze in Llangennech, near Llanelli in Carmarthenshire, were evacuated from their homes on Wednesday night, but have since been allowed to return.

Police declared a major incident, put a cordon in place and closed roads.

The two workers who were on board the train have been accounted for and no injuries have been reported, British Transport Police (BTP) said.
