Trains were replaced by road transport on Sunday when the situation became clear.

The line stops include Craven Arms, Church Stretton, Hopton Heath and Knighton.

A spokesperson for the train company said: "Owing to signaller sickness, Heart of Wales line services all day on Sunday 6 and until 6pm on Monday, August 7, will be replaced with road transport.
