That would be great to have the platform 2 back again at Pembroke dock and yes Pembroke Dock to whitland is a hour
I saw 143601 locked out of use with PRM 150242 this morning on 2E07 saw it in Llanelli. Are you a Carmarthen guard?
So it would be possible given a reinstated platform 2 to have a hourly service even if only peek hours ? Ofc given tfw could get a extra 2 trains
Also wouldn't it be relatively cheap as in it only needs a short section of track the main platform could handle anything big while the second taking one and two car trains ?
Well the main platfrom can handle about 5 carriages or 6
True so platform 2 would have to be the same length track wise but could be instated to only accept a 3 car theoretically
Yeah that's right
Nothing is cheap where it comes to infrastructure projects. Two switches, some track, signalling, then any additional passenger facilities will need to meet modern day regulations (which often means a humungously big ramped footbridge). £10m gone before you've even blinked.
It's cheap to a new line or station access is already flat just a tarmack path from bus station right next to the station to the platform just look on Google maps also the platform needs new tarmac but that a link and track isn't mega money let's face it it's alot to us but to a new line or a new train ect it isn't yes they would need another 2 trains which I did say but I think if they did it they would see a dramatic rise in users around here end of the day there is low demand as the times don't suit most people working if it was hourly during the peeks then it would result in more users
That’s what I thought, could this have anything to do with the fire on Thursday? Happy to have seen it in Llanelli before it was finished for good

looks like it was out of service most of october, came back around the 24th and was used a handful of times in November and twice in december. 13/12/19 looks like its last day
Ah ok so this is another reason tfw are short they just lost another train
I was told today that pacers can't run now south of cardiff
I know and if there short they might have to use a pacer for swansea to fishguard harbour
