    South Wales 'Metro' updates

    I don't think this is entirely correct it seems to suggest the aberdare to city line trains will loop when I believe they'll actually reverse at Cardiff Central. That would mean the Merthyr's reversing also. They might as well join up the route.

    Could HS2 have terminated at St Pancras?

    "Not enough demand for travel between HS2 and HS1 to justify special connection arrangements." How do you know, wouldn't be great to be able to travel from Birmingham or further north to Paris say on one train, that would not stay at St Pancras for that long.

    Blackpool North: The most unfriendly station in the country?
