Ive read an article which tfw says the main issue seems to be the generators on it saying the batteries have allowed the units to get to a station before packing in. Network rail I believe have come up witha way to I.prove safety with 3rd rail so a partial extension of the 3rd rail network...

If its true it should be built before NPR but im just glad its going to be built

Should have listened when ma y in the industry tried to stop the project. I believe Alstom even offered the dft an alternative that was cheaper. Eg class 390.body with bogies etc from a class180 which could work.push-pull with a diesel loco 1767982339 I think Hitachi and the Japanese government...

I think there is room for them to build a ramp and bridge across to join the bay line towards queen street. A station at Callanghan square could take pressure off central

Another reason why I suggested wiring the VOG to Penarth but also Llantwit Major or ewenny to Bridgend

Sort out Cardiff West junction along with a loop on the Coryton and Penarth branches would help solve a lot of issues on the valley lines network. Staff ive spoken too have said the 756s do seem to have better range on batteries than what even stadler originally said they would. Its been...

Theres been suggested to run the crossrail services to Penarth instead of rebuilding the line from fairwater up to creigiau

They need to wire to Penarth at least and from ewenny to Bridgend platform 1a

Could I be possible to convert the 350/2's to dual voltage?

Certainly im sure baglan to port Talbot has been resignalled too . Wiring Swansea to Port Talbot would have been ideal for the gwr units plus TFW class 756s if swanline hadn't been joined with the Swansea to Pembroke Dock service.

Need to wire to Oxford, Swansea and Bristol Temple meads for starters

Good thing will be if reopened for light rail it be easier to replace the level crossings

Hirwaun will be a easy win tracks all in place

There's long been called for a limited stop service between Carmarthen and Cardiff using the sdl new stations at felindre and llandarcy would help allow services to serve Swansea and neath

Too be honest I think grand union should do what they proposed with their london service which is run them to Carmarthen gets around the platform capacity at Cardiff Central. With how unreliable crosscountry are lately they'd have no trouble filling seats

Tfw did proposed an on street route from Cathays to central station down Castle Street but that was dropped during the early days of the metro. Certainly would have been a good idea to.relieve pressure at Queen Street

Think if they'd hadn't lost engine 2 I think they might have had a chance to get it airborne and land it

Theyll bid for routes like any other firms including thos out of cardiff into surrpundjng areas like the VOG or say the 86X heath hospital to caerphilly.

I Think cardiff valleys will be a battle between stagecoach and adventure to be honest although i wouldnt count cardiff bus out of the question as theyve previously operated into caerphilly etc. Franchising supposed to start in west wales from september 2027 i think thw next 12-18 months will...

Certainly i think they need to extend the wires to bristol Tm and perhaps theough to WSM. They could also wire all the platforms at swansea as well as the depot. The Class 756s should have plenty of range to reach swansea on battery power. If swanline was put back to just being a shuttle then...
