    CAF class 197 Civity for TfW: News and updates on introduction.

    Drove past the Telford Railfreight Depot today and could only see one single TfW coach in evidence. It might have been two, it is tricky to spot and drive!

    South Wales 'Metro' updates

    Fair enough. I am being a bit defensive about 'politicians' as they are getting an increasingly bad deal from the press and social media. We are all guilty of it to some extent of course. Someone has to make decisions. I think we all get cross when the decision making process seems to drag on...

    South Wales 'Metro' updates

    What do you mean by 'if it wasn't for the politicians'? I think the politicians had to make this all happen and deserve a lot of praise for their foresight and courage. Doubtless there are things in the scheme we will disagree with. Don't underestimate the effort put in by the politicians to...

    CAF class 197 Civity for TfW: News and updates on introduction.

    I think it is absolutely brilliant to get on a train in England or Wales and hear the Welsh language being used in the announcements. It's uplifting. Get rid of some of the repetitive announcements and make sure the English can be easily heard as well. Of course. This can be done. Well done...

    South Wales 'Metro' updates

    It's a generally accepted idea that if you can get 15 min intervals users see it as 'turn up anytime for a train/tram'. So that is the target throughout the metro area where possible. I don't think there is any need to make unnecessary comments about our politicians of whatever party where there...

    Brilliant to see this timetable. It reminded me that Cathays station is relatively recent, opening in 1983.

    South Wales 'Metro' updates

    Thanks for the two photos. It's great to see what appears to be rapid progress now. Is anyone able to say if what we see here IS rapid progress? I'm a very occasional visitor with zero inside knowledge. It would be good to hear from someone who can give an overview.

    Pictures from Llandaf visit 7 July 2022. There were no trains running, it's around 9pm so apologies for the picture quality. You can see the work on the canopy structure and various new masts installed. 1657786461 An update of mast erection either side of College Road Bridge between Llandaf and...
