Cameron says there is a risk the train doors could open while a wheelchair is parked there

A wheelchair said he was left feeling travel sick and unsafe after being forced to sit next to the train doors on two railway journeys.

Cameron Wood, 25, from Hereford, said Transport for Wales staff told him it was the only space to sit due to the lack of available wheelchair bays.

He said: "I ended up sitting by the doors and it was like a rollercoaster. It wasn't a very nice experience."

Transport for Wales (TfW) said it would investigate why this happened.

Mr Wood added: "It does worry me that the doors will accidentally open when at stations while a wheelchair is parked against them if this is allowed to continue."
