    TFW 1712 Cardiff - Holyhead Restaurant Service?

    That's the one I was on, and can confirm the change of train at Chester. Was really well utilised especially first class. We had an offer of unlimited drinks, some sandwiches, crisps plus cake and biscuits. Breakfast is returning soonest, and then from September 13th when the service goes to...

    TFW 1712 Cardiff - Holyhead Restaurant Service?

    Disappointing them and not worth the upgrade compared to the GWR Pullman Service which has even been reinstated to Swansea this week - much to my delight!!

    I'd expect them to take my complaint seriously and investigate and come to an independent outcome. Surely it's their role?

    SWR December 2022 Timetable Consultation

    The Cardiff to Waterloo services and Milford/Carmarthen/Maesteg to Waterloo service were previous franchise committments. In Wessex Trains days, the line was going to be taken over by them, and run Barnstaple/Falmouth/Paignton - Waterloo services as through services. Innovation we will...

    TFW 1712 Cardiff - Holyhead Restaurant Service?

    Apologies if there is already a post about this - I have searched and cannot find anything - so hope it is OK to start a new thread? Does anyone know if the first class restaurant service is back up and running now, or is it just the train running? Thank you!

    I run a bus users group. Over the past fortnight but especially in the last few days, a great number of our buses in the Bridgend area have been cancelled, specifically the 74 buses. What enforcement action can the Traffic Commissioner take? 26.5% of journeys were cancelled yesterday. Not as...

    Upcoming pontypridd bus war

    The times on that leaflet - although the service is yet to be registered - are 5 minutes ahead of NAT service 106! I wonder if this will come off?

    Upcoming pontypridd bus war

    If you type that registration number into VOSA there is nothing coming up. The post has also been taken down from the Facebook group it was posted in.

    Saw the 0925 off from Porthcawl today. A few people getting on waiting at stops around Woodland Avenue and at Wigfach. NAT have picked up on a trick here, but not by design, service runs a few minutes before the 172 in both directions. I hope it works. I see your 1020 from Ponty Anthony was...

    Well done to you - good to raise the profile of this service as the X2 is running to a limited timetable at the moment. Thought it might be going via Nottage Forge as there is 10 minutes in the timetable to Porthcawl between Griffin Park and John Street, compared with only 2 minutes the other...

    Believe they did, but I would not consider that a regular service.

    Not sure if has been reported elsewhere (could not find any posts) but service 404 Pontypridd to Bridgend is being extended to Porthcawl from 7th June, with the service being branded Valleys-to-Beach. I hope the service is successful as it restores a through link which vanished around 1993/4ish.

    Open Top Services (1 - Mumbles and 99 - Porthcawl) now in operation. Good to see open top services return to South Wales, and this must be a first for Porthcawl? Can't wait to try out the 99 on the weekend.

    Wales & Borders Franchise Consultation

    I wonder would a Bristol - Hereford (2-hourly) and Gloucester via Lydney (2-hourly) work in terms of pathing, sharing common pathways between Bristol and Severn Tunnel Junction? There seems to be a campaign for direct Lydney to Bristol services on the web somewhere (sorry I forget where, but...

    May 17 timetable changes

    I took a photo yesterday but dont think it came out very well unfortunately, difficult to make out the text. It did say no changes to Route 2 services (South Wales to North Wales and Manchester), but all the other Routes had changes, nothing for HoW from what I can remember, about three on the...

    May 17 timetable changes

    Fishguard trains seem to be confirmed now according to the posters at Sarn Station yesterday. New timetables in print at Bridgend but still in boxes so could not pick up. I wonder why the pdfs are not online if the printed versions are already out?
