By good fortune, the Exeter to Cardiff trains pass at Nailsea & Backwell station calling at 06 minutes hourly. However, it looks like no attempt has been made to match the A2 bus with these train schedules. If only the A2 bus could arrive say 6 minutes before the trains and depart 6 minutes...

They don't want to pay the fees & the number plate recognition cameras clock people in / out and people are stressed loading up knowing that every second counts regarding costs. This is how airports make their money - along with passengers hanging around for departures and therefore spending...

To avoid the airport parking fees, a lot of people are getting friends/ relatives to drive them to the airport. These people then drive home or wherever and the same thing happens when the air passengers return and need to be picked up - that’s why for miles around Bristol airport, you will see...

The 801 bus does not even reach Cheltenham train station - only the town centre - which is about a mile from the station. You would think that buses would reach Cheltenham station to enable onward travel to the hinterland but it appears to be only served by ‘town' buses. 1779085684 GWR need to...

So, nobody in the Welsh capital knows they are on the Capitals United but they do know in London. Perhaps it would be better if Great British Railways took over the running of mainline stations in Wales?

With the new direct GWR trains now operating between Swindon and Oxford, I really do wonder why the Cotswolds Discoverer Day Rover does not include the missing link between these 2 places? It would be darn helpful - and induce more people to travel by train if the complete circuit could be made...

One service per day (weekdays only) each way between Cardiff > York Newcastle and Edinburgh.

It takes 1 hour 5 minutes by the hourly direct trains from Cardiff Central to Nailsea. Note that these also pick up passengers at other places on their all stop runs between south Wales and the south west. Exeter for example is around 1 hour 15 minutes from Nailsea on these very same trains. So...

Good to see these named trains but how much promotion do they get? Does the name appear on screens / announcements at stations & on the trains? Do TFW run stations announce the names of these GWR trains and have the names on platform screens?

I just went to the Stadler website and clicked on Stadler Cardiff - locate on map - and was taken to a place in Liverpool. https://www.stadlerrail.com/en/company/locations

Cardiff Airport has a 2 mile bus link from Rhoose station - which at present has only 1 train per hour and these trains go from Bridgend to Rhymney in the valleys. Transport for Wales would like to run a service to Bristol Temple Meads calling at all stations - including new ones - if they are...

Bristol Airport should never have beeb allowed to continue development at the current site. One big airport should have been built to cover the south west portion of the UK - and that includes south Wales. Filton would have been well placed but they went and built Cribb’s Causeway retailing...

Note that children travel free (with fare paying adults) on the Transport for Wales network. https://tfw.wales/ways-to-travel/rail/ticket-types/family-ticket

Plenty of passengers use Rhoose station - many with cases & clearly using the trains and shuttle bus to/from the Airport. The roads from Llantwit Major, Rhoose and Barry are overloaded and I would expect many of these car commuters to use the trains if they had a half hourly service. It sounds...

To clarify Labour’s proposals for the railways in Wales I suggest you read this BBC article:> https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c80jyx2xljno Eluned Morgan (Labour & current First Minister of Wales) hopes that the new stations planned between Severn Tunnel Junction and Cardiff (see BBC link)...

Westjet are flying 4 days per week this summer with services from Toronto to Cardiff and the odds are that the Canadians will need public transport. Word is that the flights are booking well with 60% Canadians v 40% Brits. 1775885686 To make the M4 issue (Newport section) clear: Reform said...

Goodness knows why the VOG Coast Line has only 1 train per hour - especially as it serves the Welsh Government owned Airport via the short shuttle bus link from Rhoose station? The train and this shuttle bus in by far the most efficient way of getting to/from the airport and central Cardiff. The...

I don’t think that is viable as you would have a steep gradient up from the City Line to the school playing field - which they would not want to lose - plus the fact that it is a longer route than re-building on the alignment of the former railway that comes off the City Line just north of...

Any extension from Coryton / new Velindre station would not go through the Forest Farm Nature Reserve in order to reach Radyr. The line would continue in the old cutting done by the Victorians to pass under Longwood Drive (near Asda) and then west just on the south side of the M4 to reach a new...

Part of the protected route for a Metro line out from the City Line just north of Fairwater station to Cregiau and possibly beyond. This - along with the now being built phase 1 linking the Bay Line with Cardiff Central station, is the reason why tram-trains (Class 398) have been chosen. Of...
