When Wales play Ireland in the 6 Nations is there any extra capacity to Fishguard Harbour for the ferry?
Is the class 37 running on the Rhymney line today to free up extra units for strengthening on rugby trains?
Is the WAG/loco hauled train running today to provide extra capacity for the rugby?
Thinking outside the box... TfW chartered a steam train to run to Bleanau Ffestiniog last week, how about chartering one for rugby matches at Cardiff, maybe not but a diesel loco and coaches could be chartered.
Or is the reality that TfW don’t have enough staff to operate the advertised timetable, let alone extra trains.
There are significant improvements to Sunday services planned from December, where are all the staff coming from. Will Sunday working be ‘voluntary’ meaning swathes of cancellations, just like a Northern?
Why do the 37s only run on Monday to Friday peak times?The 37s are not out because, for one thing, the nature of their contract and can only run at the peaks Mondays to Friday.
Just come across this. I don't see the connection of class 37s with this Infrastructure and Stations thread.Why do the 37s only run on Monday to Friday peak times?
Surely these events in Cardiff are planned months in advance can’t the ‘contract’ include event days and maybe Saturdays in the run up to Christmas?
