    Could Swansea benefit from a Stuttgart 21 style rebuild?

    They should have built the 4 platforms when they rebuilt the station and remodelled the road outside. As for a Swansea to Maesteg train thats definitely a great idea but they really should upgrade thw Margam to Tondu branch and reinstate the mainline connection to thw branch without having to...

    Build miskin/Cardiff West parkway plus a eastbound loop at remains again on a new brackla station would be a great help

    Could Swansea benefit from a Stuttgart 21 style rebuild?

    There was talk of a new link a few years ago of a new allingement from Swansea burrows. Can't remember the link but I do remember the storm it caused from people in neath. Think tfw had their own on street allingement to take tram trains over from Swansea burrows to high street station

    I think they'd rather install a loop first

    Air India crash at Ahmedabad on flight towards Gatwick - 12/06/2025

    I've see some media outlets saying the captain said no thrust when he made the mayday call. I think something went wrong electrically with this aircraft and left the crew no time although one pilot only has said he thinks the crew tried to keep the aircraft in the air as long as they could

    TfL possible long term funding settlement @ June Spending Review

    Let's hope then we could see a follow up order placed for the 2024 stock for the bakerloo line

    FirstGroup apply for Hereford to Paddington via Bristol Parkway and Cwmbran

    I suspect they'll probably split/attached units at newport to the lumo service travelling to/from Carmarthen

    Looks like stadler could end up getting a follow on order for class 398s.

    £15bn Improvements around UK

    I think london will see an order placed to replace the 1972 stock but I could see a bare minimum order and wouldn't be surprised to seenthe bakerloo cut back to stonebridge park. I can't see the Lewisham extension get the greenlight right now personally I'd put money on the tramlink extension to...

    What rolling stock could/should replace Transport for Wales' Mark 4 sets, Class 230s and 153 Active Travel sets long-term?

    I think tfw do need more 197s back up north Wales for the future service improvements mentioned recently so could be for these reasons that new units are being ordered. Personally I hope it's not going to be a follow up order of 197s. Did I read right a year or so ago that CAF were looking...
