    Cryptic clues = station name

    It's the nearest mainline railway station in Trumptonshire. So whatever your answer is, I bet mine is more logical ;) (And this being a railway forum the search is surely conducted by Lord Belborough and Brackett using Bessie.)

    Cryptic clues = station name

    No I guess someone else better posts something. Apologies for my unusable contribution. On the front of station building of the main station of Cardiff it says Caerdydd Canolog / Cardiff Central. The third word (Cardiff) is of course the common English name of the place. The hint for the second...

    Cryptic clues = station name

    Umm, sorry, looks like my description was poor. When I wrote ‘shown on the outside frontage of the station building’, that was supposed to be a hint that it isn’t what you normally find it in say National Rail Enquiries - specifically the station is in Wales…

    South Wales 'Metro' potential works, expansions and impact of possible road schemes on the railway

    A proper car park on the A465 (east side of Abergavenny station) is planned as part of the new housing development. But that depends on the new local development plan getting approved. At Chepstow the council looked to buy the coal yard, but so far it seems without success. The timber yard...

    Cryptic clues = station name

    Oh, may I? The station name, as shown on the outside frontage of the station building, has four words and one punctuation mark. Second word is like tinotrunk, third is what most inhabitants would call the place

    Trivia - Bus routes which change countries

    Not sure if this counts as a border, but the pole of this bus stop is in England (and the flag & timetable case are unmistakenly Gloucestershire's). But any bus that actually stops at that stop would be in Wales.

    Bee Network Service/Route Discussion

    This is though another example of a bus service routeing determined by local authority boundaries - this route should really be extended to Wilmslow...

    Bus services that enter private property (except shopping centres/supermarkets/works only)

    The access road to the Chepstow Leisure Centre is technically a private street, used by Newport Bus route C2 (plus lots of school buses as it also serves the local school). Though the leisure centre is council-owned, so not sure if that counts. Chepstow & Abergavenny hospitals, and Monmouth &...

    Cardiff to Newport Contactless / Lines

    I must have done a couple of thousands of trips between Newport and Cardiff over the last nearly 20 years. From Newport to Cardiff most trains normally use the main line, only very few are scheduled to use the relief line. But when there are delays it is quite common for some trains to be...

    South Wales 'Metro' potential works, expansions and impact of possible road schemes on the railway

    Right, the only road-based option that has shown to generally reduce the daily congestion (which really isn't that great, compared with say Bristol or Cardiff) is the black route. Upgrading the SDR (I've forgotten the name for that, was it red route?) would make some difference to Newport when...

    South Wales 'Metro' potential works, expansions and impact of possible road schemes on the railway

    Can you actually go from Abergavenny directly into platform 4 in Newport? Because if not then that movement would require crossing the main SWML tracks twice, wouldn't it?

    TFW introduces Pay As You Go in South East Wales

    Well I think getting off at the PAYG boundary and then reboarding a later train is ok. It's conceptually no different to taking the slower London Midland train from Birmingham to London because its cheaper. The only issue is when passengers expect their train to wait. I think it would be...

    South Wales 'Metro' potential works, expansions and impact of possible road schemes on the railway

    The vast majority of traffic on the M4 around Newport is local. Get more of that on the trains and North/Midlands and East of Bristol heading past Cardiff would do fine. Busiest section is actually 27 to 26 - that's Risca to Cwmbran, and of course anyone from Abergavenny to west of Newport...
