A VEHICLE has crashed into a bridge in Newbridge, causing disruption to the Ebbw Vale line.

A Network Rail team were sent out to inspect Newport Road rail bridge following the incident at about 8.23am.

The incident had led to delays and cancellations on the Ebbw Vale line.

A spokesman for Arriva Trains Wales said: "It has been cleared by 9.24am. There will be some knock on delays, so it might take some time for services to get back to normal.

"We would like to thank our passengers for their patience. We are working with our partners to get things back to normal."
