Bristol train evacuated due to security threat

British Transport Police have confirmed that a Swansea to London Paddington train has been evacuated at Bristol Parkway because of an unexplained package on board.

Transport police are investigating, whilst passengers wait in the car park. The station is closed and no trains are running on the line.

There are reports of delays at Bristol Temple Meads as a result. The disruption could delay football fans heading to the Millenium stadium in Cardiff for the Olympic football match between Brazil and Egypt.
