But one rail specialist company rode to the rescue to ensure a swift solution to a landslip on a railway line near Tonypandy in South Wales that could have caused long-term delays and commuter chaos.

Drainage and civil engineering specialists Scott Parnell arranged for a same-day delivery of essential materials required to repair the landslip and allow stock to get moving again. The delivery was made from Scott Parnell’s Hirwaun branch in Rhondda Cynnon Taff, South Wales.
