Hopefully tfw will plug the 2 hour gaps on the swanline services to give a full hourly service between Cardiff and. Swansea maybe even a Sunday service

Why not a new build take from CAF of some mk5 carriages and work with stadler to get them.to work with a class 93/99. Borderlands line from press release fromtfw it makes me think tfw are going to order their own variant of the 777s Ad for West Wales and heart of wales line why not a lower...

I'd wiire to Westbury that might allow some.freight to use electric locos so pathing them might be easier. Wire Cardiff to Swansea too

I think network southeast livery and branding should be brought back with a bit of a update for services around London etc although will have to see how that works with the gwr 387s. I do think it would brighten up thameslink and great northern. I think all the longer distance service from...

Hasn't there been proposals to extend the wires from just north of shepherd's bush down to olympia for switchover from dc too overhead could be done on the flat rather than an incline

I agree it's long overdue. Thwy should look at the loop on the Penarth line again too if funding becomes available

I think the Coryton line does need more than 1 passing loop especially at heath low level to allow services to wait out of the way of the main Rhymney line

Same here hate driving services on bonfire night or new years eve try to book them off because I've been startled a few times. Strange really though being autistic i don't like fireworks yet a loud volvo engine won't fase me. In all fairness my employers and colleagues plus my regular...

Lately some of the delays and issues have not been the fault of the 230s but rather the class 197s or infrastructure issues. Because of their past problems people quite quick to blamethwm

I can see the government stumping up for the bare minimum of trains and I won't be surprised to see it cut back to Stonebridge park instead of up to Harrow and Wealdstone probably to free up a certain number of units required daily

That is the plan yes. They struggling to get the daily requirement of 197s elsewhere so freeing up the two off this line will be a great help. So far the modifications have proven to work.pretty well

I'm sure I've read somewhere one idea was exactly as you said large bridge like that at Reading would take the crowds and ease overcrowding in the subways

Could be then platform 0 could be extended over to the west over the river

Those new machines are springing up everywhere on a lot of the tfw Network. The ones at Swansea also allow you to pay for car parking in the 24 hr multistorey next to the stn

I think k they south side will get busier with the metro stop outside plus they probably trying to get more people to use it to ease congestion on the north side.
