Hundreds of homes are still without power across South Wales as disruption from Storm Darragh continues.

Drop in centres are open at sites across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Powys where disruption's been described as 'significant'.

They're helping those affected by power cuts charge their phones and have access to hot drinks.

There is also disruption on the trains with GWR saying there will be no services between Carmarthen and Swansea until at least Midday.

They're urging people not to attempt to travel as they're still working to clear debris from the line.

Transport for Wales said all railway lines are blocked on 11 routes, such as between Swansea and Milford Haven, between Swansea and Shrewsbury, between Birmingham International and Shrewsbury, and between Chester and Holyhead.
