Anybody else sick of the interminable requests for feedback. In the past month I've been asked for feedback from; A vet visit. A phone call to Welsh Water. My contact lenses. Turmeric tablets. Everything I buy on eBay including those that I have returned because they are useless. How did my...

I have just returned from a holiday on Anglesey where I stayed in Llanerch y Medd formerly a station on the title line. The track is still there albeit totally overgrown. The station yard has been turned into a community garden complete with a section of track on which stand a diesel shunter and...

Today I passed the construction site of the new station. It is situated on the extreme south side of the village which itself is a ribbon development being approximately one mile long with a few offshoot estates. My question is, is this a case of many of the population saying they want the...

Perhaps one for the more mature forum members. Do you miss the gentle click clicking of a Qualcast hand mower and the clip clip of hedge shears. Instead at the first sign of good weather, out comes the petrol mower, hedge cutter and strimmer all powered in the main, by screaming two stroke...

Mods note - Split from this thread: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/vehicle-discussion-the-suv-vs-standard-types-of-car.204756/ What is forgotten at this time of year is the menace of tall SUVs with the blue headlights, in the dark, lashing down with rain, the lights dazzling off the road...

With the news that in the midst of the worst crisis that we have ever faced, the Welsh Assembly has decided to adopt a new title. This will no doubt incur considerable expense due to reprinting of stationary, altering sign boards, reworking websites and many other costs However, with the...

Having watched BBC news at 10 for the first time in ages I was impressed by the quality of the programme considering the rows of empty seats in what I assume is the news room. Radio programmes on the BBC have maintained their excellent standards of quality and content despite some presenters...

Isn't it about time these interminable programmes were restricted. For example, this morning the presenter on BBC Radio Wales, Jason Mohammed, had a phone in which people were phoning about food shortages, an alert for the panic buyers.Some phone calls were sensible but more often than not...

I spend a lot of time where I can see the line east of Carmarthen. Would I be right in thinking it must be one of the least busy maim lines in the UK. At some periods during the day there is sometimes an hour between trains in either direction. I know there has been a considerable amount of work...

It seems to have got lost amongst everything that is going on at this time and is bound to affect more and more people in the coming months. Should the government be addressing this?

I don't know whether this has been mentioned before. Why do the Channel Islands not appear in the opening titles map in later episodes?

I am a regular traveller on the T1 service which runs between Aberystwyth and Carmarthen. Legroom for tall passengers is poor, the ride is harsh, you can feel every bump in the road and, especially at this time of year , the heating seems to be non-existent. The vehicles also seem to rattle and...

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-48212693 Another example of the BBC snowflake culture and political correctness gone mad. Danny is the only proper presenter on the station. If the other university educated, P C so called presenters had any cahoonas they would come out on strike in...

While walking underneath the railway bridge which crosses the River Cleddau near Haverford West I noticed what appeared to be pulley wheels and buffer stops on one of the bridge piers.(see attached photo). It seems that this was part of the original lifting bridge built because ship access was...

I don't know if the subject has been addressed previously. Apologies if it has. On the Heart of Wales line, for instance, do the buses call at each station,for example, Broom, Dolau and Cynghordy and others? Having worked in the area for many years as a lorry driver, I would imagine that if they...

I went to secondary school in Birmingham in the second half of the 1960s. We had a teacher who was a railway enthusiast and took us on, I think, either 3 or 4 railway excursions from which station I have no recollection. There were only 4 things I remember from these trips.One of the tours was...

We lived in a then lower middle class suburb of Birmingham which was actually geographically known as Small Heath but the residents preferred to call it Little Bromwich, sounds so much classier. On certain nights you could hear one of two lines, either the LNWR main line from Birmingham New...
