    If I happen to be on another at any point, I will try and see if I can get a photo of the gap for you

    South Wales 'Metro' updates

    I'm currently sat on what I assume is one (the newer trains that have been running on the rhymney line for a bit) at Cardiff central to Treherbert. Have had to treble check 3 times to make sure I'm on the correct train!

    Thank you both. I was just quite confused (and didn't know whether to blame it on me not being fully awake because of the clock changes )

    South Wales 'Metro' updates

    Does anyone have any ideas of why all the trains pontypridd to Merthyr seem to be cancelled today (according to the tfw app), but yesterday they were still shown as running? 1711879640 The bizarre thing is that they are now all showing as running again.

    South Wales 'Metro' updates

    Too days in a row I've been on the 6:37 from ponty to queen street (ex-merthyr) and has felt so much quieter than normal without all of the Rhondda rail replacements getting on it! Got the 5:39 CDQ-PPD back, and it was a TRB service, vast majority of people seemed to be staying on past ponty

I'm actually asking for selfish reasons, I tend to have to get...

    They've been running up and down all day (every time I look at traksy, I've missed the reverse journey and how far Cardiffwards they travelled

    I don't know when it's reopening, but I have seen a few trains on the treherbert branch at ponty today. No idea whether this headcode is for 'test' or 'treherbert'

    First class on LNER and GWR

    Unfortunately, I had to get them separately, as using lner friends and family for the Lincoln to London, and from kings X to Cardiff (I did that, because I haven't bought my contactless card with me, so can't tap my way through the tube), I've used the sites ticket site to purchase (any time I'm...

    First class on LNER and GWR

    Hey all, not sure if this is in the right subforum or not (please move if not admins), but next Friday, as a birthday treat to myself, I'm going to be travelling on first class from Lincoln to kings cross, and then paddington to cardiff. (Separate tickets, and both booked separately Lincoln...
