will Arriva run Holyhead - Cardiff 20 March?

one final Millenium stadium game to go, against Italy and will the 57 be out for the day with extra coaches or did the last ruggex outing prove too much for it! (failed at Holyhead in the evening i think)

I have not heard of any engine problems this time,however according to
a couple of people yesterday I was in conversation with.

The staff at Cardiff Station were having difficulty understanding what train
Nth Wales passengers should board, a lot of irate passengers were advised to
board "Gerald" for all stations on the Shrewsbury to Chester line,one woman
was told by staff the train stopped at Ruabon, The correct 1720 train for
Shrewsbury/Chester appeared unknown by staff, but was within minutes of "Geralds" departure, some passengers for Manchester were according to
reports told not to board the 1652, even though this was the correct train for them, change at Crewe etc.

Anyhow, with a few thousand extra passengers lined up, suppose you get the odd problem,but why make this train so confusing,
replacing a Manchester/South Wales at Crewe both ways, then only stopping at four stations after Chester to Holyhead,
