A railway line has reopened after four days of engineering work to make the track safe.

Trains between Shrewsbury and Hereford and between Shrewsbury and Llandrindod Wells were suspended, with some services replaced by buses.

Network Rail said had to take action after a collapsed culvert was discovered beneath the track between Craven Arms and Church Stretton in Shropshire.

It said track had to be lifted up to allow the work to be carried out.

Trains on the Heart of Wales line ran between Llandrindod Wells and Swansea only.

Network Rail said it was looking into the cause of the damage.
