Passengers were forced to "inhale vomit fumes" after someone was sick on a train, and staff "made no attempt to clean it".

One Transport for Wales passenger said he was bemused to see a poster promoting the cleanliness of TfW services after seeing the vomit.

The poster boasts: "Squeaky clean, every step of the way," ironically right next to the four seats that were cordoned off.

The man, who chose to remain anonymous, claims that "no attempt had been made to clean it" before he and the other passengers boarded the Crewe to Holyhead service.

The man said he was alarmed when he learnt that the sullied seats had been taped off since earlier in the afternoon and that it had run other services in that state with passengers "inhaling the fumes of the vomit" all the while. He said what he encountered was an unacceptable hazard.

The passenger was travelling on Friday evening on the 6:24pm service from Crewe, which changed at Chester on its way to Holyhead.

He said the experience was made all the worse due to there being only two carriages for the service which meant that the odour was inescapable for many passengers.

The train was packed when it arrived at Crewe, he said, with all the seats, barring the ones that had been taped off, taken and no room to stand.

He said that disembarking customers made comments that the train "shouldn't have been used" due to the pungent smell of the vomit.

"When I managed to board the train, I understood why," said the passenger.

"Someone had vomited all over four seats and over the floor. No attempt had been made to clean it, instead the four seats were taped out of use with the vomit still on them and on the floor for us all to tread in – even the conductor stepped over it to check tickets!

"I was alarmed to hear that the 'sick incident' had happened on a service earlier in the afternoon. To my knowledge around six outbound/return trips, all very busy services, were made in the carriage as it was coated in vomit with passengers inhaling the fumes and standing in the wet puddles of watery vomit on the floor – an unacceptable health hazard, why is this acceptable?"

Transport for Wales has been approached for comment.
