Angry commuters fought First Great Western's plans to cut services from the station near Caldicot.

The company recently made a U-turn and reinstated morning stops at the station.

On Monday 70 campaigners from Save The Severn Tunnel Station met at the station to protest the cuts, and last night the company said it will now restore the evening service.

The 4.54pm and 5.54pm services from Bristol had faced the ace.

Angry commuters said they faced crowded trains and less options as a result.

Last night campaigner David Flint was celebrating victory.

The 59-year-old marketing man from Caldicot, who uses the service to communte daily to Bristol, said: "There is jubilation and almost disbelief. I have never done anything like this in my life before - fought a big corporation and won. It shows people power and democracy do work."

First Great Western said it had reviewed its plans for the timetable after a "strong response" from passengers to the changes.

Regional manager Andrew Griffiths said: "I am very pleased to report that we have now had the green light to provide stops at Severn Tunnel Junction in the 1422 and 1522 Portsmouth to Cardiff services, as from Monday 18 December. "Thanks are due to Network Rail for making this possible."

The stops are at 5.15pm and 6.14pm, on the 4.55pm and 5.44pm departures from Bristol Temple Meads respectively.

Mr Griffiths added: "This restores the choice of four peak-time services in each directions for commuters using Severn Tunnel Junction station."
