Train-cleaning staff based at the Canton maintenance depot in Leckwith Road , Cardiff , say they fear the worst after learning the company had lost its First Great Western trains cleaning contract.

'We have been advised by First Great Western that they are terminating this contract and will transfer this work to an alternative location on their network from early December 2006."
