From TFW Journeycheck, how ridiculous 23:15 Cardiff Central to Swansea due 00:45 23:15 Cardiff Central to Swansea due 00:45 will be delayed at Briton Ferry and is expected to be 61 minutes late. This is due to passengers causing a disturbance on this train.

I felt the braking was late and very hard. Items were sliding off tables. Having been on that route several times the train certainly entered the station much faster than I ever remembered. Weather was bright dry and sunny. I was under the impression that the conductor went to the rear cab to...

I decided to take a trip Bristol TM to Oxford on the new Saturday only direct service yesterday 28.09 on the 10.18 departure with 800008. The train was well loaded, but no onboard computers working for seat reservations or carriage letters. As we approached Chippenham I thought we were going a...

I was going Pembroke Dock to Swansea. Huge gap for holiday visitors both morning and afternoon My point is that the average customer does not have a clue if he is relying on the main timetable

So I was trying to book the 10.00 GWR Pembroke Dock to Swansea tomorrow, no sign of it. There are no strikes and it is still listed to 9th September in the main timetables. Any idea why it is not running or even showing as cancelled. TFW have seemingly removed their services at those times for...

The special train has already been cancelled for tomorrow. Heart of Wales had buses all weekend. Closure by stealth? Also TFW have been selling discounted tickets for the show although still £30 so if train is cancelled do customers get a refund on those as well? You would have thought for the 4...

I see the first day of the annual 06.57 Cardiff Central to Builth Road and this evenings return has been cancelled this morning due to staff shortages for the busiest week by far on the Heart of Wales line. The other services appear to be single class 153. Then 2 later return journeys only run...

I spoke to a conductor recently. The policy is that the 153/9 units can work in tandem with another compliant unit so if with a 153/3 the situation is the same as a 150, 2 coaches, 1 disabled toilet. !53/9 are allowed on their own as long as the journey does not exceed 19 minutes

If you want to see inconvenience, come down to the other end of the TFW area, Carmarthen to Milford haven, where all trains are buses today to save units. 28 minutes wait for another train would be a luxury

There is a catering depot at Carmarthen, but there is usually no catering westbound from there

Should be interesting tomorrow when the Milford Haven branch should reopen after a 5 week shut down. If there were cancellations with this being bus operated for 5 weeks what chance is there for tomorrow. Bet the bus companies are laughing. Does anyone know how much of the line has been completed?

I have just checked the TFW website and am able to book a ticket from Milford Haven to Cardiff at 05.55 next Monday 25th and it shows no bus and no change of train, arriving 08.40. TFW need to get their act together and decide what they are doing

There are 2 problems locally, firstly the buses are leaving about 45 mins before the train usually does , so unless passengers are aware of this problem, they arrive to a bus service that has already left. Secondly the TFW website is giving out normal train times from Monday 25th onwards and...

Train services use Clarbeston Road , the junction for both branches with trackwork to allow terminating trains and Haverfordwest as a turn round point during a normal timetable. I cannot see any reason other why work could not be done in 2 stages and certainly why buses are needed to Carmarthen...

On Thursday of last last week it was announced that the Clarbeston Road to Milford Haven branch was to shut from the following Monday for 5 weeks for vegetation / tree removal. A couple of weeks ago the Fishguard branch was shut following a tree hitting a train and an area of embankment was cut...

I caught the 22.27 Swansea to Milford Haven last night. Got off the London train to find a 150 / 142 combo in platform 3. Got on the Sprinter only to be told that at Carmarthen, I needed to get on the Pacer for a midnight trip to Milford Haven. Even the crew apologised!!

Pembroke Dock to Carmarthen and beyond sees 142, 143, 150, 153, 158, 175, and was HST during summer

What happened to the stock of spare parts when ATW finished?

I went on the morning service Saturday 28th. Started Tenby to Pembroke Dock, stopped all stations. Left Pembroke Dock at 10.01, catering then started, passed Lamphey, Penally and Narbeth, then after Carmarthen, stopped at Pembrey and Llanelli. Got off at Swansea, bit lunch, then 150 Sprinter...
