Video journalist James Shaw took his mobile phone on an early-morning train journey from Wellington to Birmingham in a bid to find out whether overcrowding is still a problem.

He caught the 7.45am Arriva Trains Wales service on Monday morning and filmed his experiences while interviewing fellow passengers.

Find out what James saw and heard during his railway journey in our exclusive video report.
