I can testify to the 7:40am from Bridgend to Rhymney via the VoG. It is a disgrace it is always 2 carriages. It is shockingly difficult to get off at Cadoxton! I end up standing before it gets to Llantwit simply to be in a better position to get off. To say there is a service 10 mins later...

Just seen on the latest tfw newsletter about new trains that the 398s are set to run all services on the TAM lines next year. So 2026 now. Hmm not reliable.at all are they?

I think the 398s are fully rolled out in December from their info. But however, they have been known to change things.......

I believe December this year is when the 398s go live? It is dragging on!

Well from Jan 19th Stagecoach are putting the Merthyr to Brecon T4 service to 2 hourly now on hourly. I am guessing because of the time of year it makes sense.

The 150s are not ageing well. If they are a few mins late from Cardiff to TAM, they just get worse down the line. Being rammed also does not help at all. TFW are running out of excuses, the covid excuse has long gone as with others. Remember when they said 'fares WILL come down' with the...

That is absolute hypocrisy. A prat? I am a realist and a tax payer in private business! We are being taken for a ride! They did say at the new timetable change 756s would run. Why is everyone so defensive of TFW when they promise all the time but rarely deliver? I know there have been...

Well i asked on twitter well x and got this: Trafnidiaeth Cymru Trenau Transport for Wales Rail @tfwrail Hi Mark, we will still make use of our older fleet of trains. Sorry if you were looking forward to travelling on newer trains. ^Cam So it is total rubbish again putting everything back.

Well I thought today was the day the 756s would start to be rolled out wholescale to the TAM lines. Looked on realtimetrains and the first Merthyr and Aberdare trains are 150s! Hmm not looking good, as the 150s are getting expensive to repair now...

Wycombe are a breath of fresh air - being Welsh I am supporting Wrexham but I hope they get back to winning ways soon to make it a good fight! Huddersfield have won 4 in a row too so not a 3 horse race!

As much as I was disappointed the Liverpool game was called off it makes the titel race more intersting - if you are a neutral! More impressed with Wrexham and getting 1-0 wins - could be the best finish in League 1!

The Principality Stadium as it is now called should be how all new stadia are developed. Breaking Everton v Liverpool called off.

Funny you should say that. I was on the 63 from the Porthcawl Interchange at 6:15am on Saturday and driver told me the X2 would start there in January. I would have posted earlier but you do not always get thr truth ha ha!

Oh yes the 150s are struggling badly on Merthyr/Aberdare services. They are calamitous when they leave Cardiff late as it gets progressively worse. Nice to see 3 756s in service this week hopefully add another next week!

Probably correct as though realtimetrains has not changed it 15 mins late from Cardiff suspects that is so

I am on the 6:15am Llanelli to Manchester service this am. A 153 and a 150. According to realtimetrains no change at Cardiff. Running ok at the moment as I am getting off ar Bridgend. Mind you the 150 is smoother towards Swansea than the 197s crazy that.

TFW really need to do something about the morning timetable from Carmarthen east! There is a 6:15am Llanelli to Manchester train. The next one is then a Cardiff service at 7:22am. They used to do a 6:45am service crazy to take that out as the 7:22am is almost always a 2 car service that gets...

It is poor as. The 398s were said to come in by May latest, and pushed back yet again! That is over 2 years late.....

Well the prices in South Wales with Stagecaoach are unreal now. A single Merthyr to Cardiff is now (on the T4) £7.60 yet the train is £5.40! People have told me on the train how expensive it is locally too. A total contrast to First in West Wales. Something tells me usage will not rocket as...

For starters, Treforest has no passing loop!!! If it was Pontypridd maybe. However, if that was true it would be a public disaster. Personally, I think 398s on heavy rail with no toilets is asking for trouble. Hey ho.
