    I agree no one I communicate with in Mid Wales was happy with a well used train being pinched from Wrexham,had the service axe not been leaked,it would have been lost.

    I agree, although Manchester(Salford) is now home to the BBC in Media city,most will be travelling to the smoke in the morning, this also includes smaller cities like Cardiff & Chester etc.Im sure the last train leaves Paddington for Swansea at 10pm and a good few trains depart Swansea for...
