Okay..thanks

I have just booked tickets for my rugby trip to North Wales on October 10th using the forum site. For my return trip I am booked on an advance Single from Colwyn Bay to Cwmbran,departing at 1732. I am being told to change at Shrewsbury ( with a half hour wait)but it seems the 1732 is a direct...

Thanks..it was a good game though.

I am booked to travel from Leicester to Newport on Monday on two Cross Country services. There are quite a few other Glamorgan cricket fans returning from here to South Wales tomorrow Hope the trains are running tomorrow morning.

We lost off peak tickets from Cwmbran many years ago. They still exist from Newport to Cardiff and from Cardiff westwards where competition exists. But i rarely ( except on Summer Sunday mornings) make a local trip by train as I travel free on the bus.

I’ve just renewed my Senior Railcard and this time have splashed out on a three year one. If I couldn’t use it before 0930 then it would be worthless. I’ve made several cricket trips since the start of April which saw me boarding trains before 7a.m.. I have two more in the next week or so...

That sounds good.

Picked up on this this morning. The last day of TNT sports on Discovery+ will be March 26th. After that it is transferring to HBO Max when it launches in Britain. Stand alone Sports Package remains the same price. Too much too hope that Warner Brothers/Discovery will automatically transfer our...

Those of us who get TNT sports via Discovery+ have access to the ad free International Feed. That would have been nice during the Ashes. Hope that continues through the series.

It’s a bit annoying. I have several companies journeycheck pages bookmarked but I wonder if anyone actually reads what is published. Today TFW have come up with this gem- 16:30 Manchester Piccadilly to Cardiff Central due 19:44 16:30 Manchester Piccadilly to Cardiff Central due 19:44 will be...

Saw Graham Nash this evening with Peter Asher supporting. Brilliant evening.

Wasn’t Radio 2 on Longwave before Radio 4? We cricket fans have a certain affection for LW as Test Match Special found a home there after being booted off Radio 3…now settled on Sports Extra of course. Atlantic 252 and a short lived sports station were on there and RTE took over 252 KHz for a...

I once saw David Icke on Hereford station while he was still known for sports presenting and Bernard Bresslaw ,of Carry On fame,was once sat in the same row as me at Sophia Gardens watching cricket. Think he was appearing at the New Theatre. Also saw Bill McClaren on Cardiff Central after a...

If a local pub can be considered significant then I’ve never been in ‘The Crows Nest’ the pub on my Cwmbran estate.

Just spotted this on the LBC news site A Ryanair flight from London Luton has been forced to abort its landing after the plane's GPS signal was 'jammed' near the boarder with Russia.

Last season , with a Saturday train arriving into Llandovery at 1310, I travelled to watch my rugby team, Newport, play at Church Bank. Okay,I had to wait until 1805 to leave but Llandovery have a nice clubhouse. If I want to go by train next week( 4th January) I have to leave at the crack of...

Having seen the new 3G pitch at Llandovery RFC clearly marked for football I reckon I can put Church Bank in . The Heart of Wales line runs behind the main stand and if fortunate enough to be there when a rare train passes by you can see it clearly from the standing terrace opposite. Timetable...

W’in siarad Cymraeg a Saesneg. That’s Welsh and English. I find it odd when I’m on an English railway station and only hear announcements in English! And I have a smattering of French from schooldays.

This has popped up on you tube. As it was broadcast in the afternoon I’m not sure I ever knew about it. Don’t think anymore are on but if anyone knows if they are available somewhere that would be handy.

In the seventies Caroline put a good signal into South Wales of an evening along with Radio North Sea International. Even listened to Radio Mi Amigo on dark Winter mornings and evenings. When Laser 558 came along their signal somehow got through in the daytime,albeit a bit weak. Very much my...
