Annoyingly ATW on Twitter are just referring everyone to Journey Check, which is very useful at times but not when there's no information regarding the train I'm due to catch, which is currently sat at Hereford and clearly won't be arriving in Cardiff on time. I suspect the lack of information...

I believe ATW are using whatever they can get their hands on at the moment. I really struggled to get to Cardiff this morning and we were leaving people on the platforms. The 175 was terminated at Cardiff rather than Manchester so that it could go back to Swansea.

ATW have stated on twitter a couple of times that they're trying to work some extra services/capacity between Cardiff and Swansea to make up the lack of HSTs. I believe they're still working on things though so can't confirm exactly what they'll have in place.

Thanks for the info. This is the first place I've seen it. I see that they've not clarified exactly which services will run yet i.e. timings, but it's a good excuse to duck out of a work night out early!

On an entirely selfish level, I really really hope they go through with it this time. I was gutted when they called off the last one and I had to go into the office rather than work from home. There went my 2 1/2 hour lie in.

NRE have now updated their website with ticket acceptance. Essentially travel Sunday/Wednesday for pre-booked tickets. They're saying that Season Ticket compensation will be available, but refer to the TOC. I'm still expecting to get nothing. Sorry, can't post link ATM.

Spoke too soon!

RTT says 2L69 Cheltenham to Maesteg is a pacer. As I'm sitting on it I can safely say it's a 158! Tables! Plug sockets! I'm gutted to have to change at Bridgend (although I'll be catching the next HST)

I hate the unresponsive keyboards on the stupid things. It takes twice as long to use them as it should because the touch screens are useless. That, and the fact that I can't buy my monthly ticket on one.

I would guess one of the Swindon constituencies is another 0 (probably North?). Swindon has 2 constituencies and only 1 station. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Having just checked on a map I'm not actually sure which constituency the station is considered to be in. The divide...

The Valley Lines were horrendous. It's no real surprise that a facebook group has been set up called Arriva Trains Fails, which has just reached 2000 members. Interestingly the 1755 Cardiff to Swansea was a one off to account for the lack of 1648 service and the delayed 1750, so well done to...
