An odd one considering how loved they seem to be, but has anyone else noticed the hunting oscillation being bad on the 175s? Was on one yesterday to Chepstow and whilst sat in the front coach was moving quite violently whilst on the sea wall section around Mathern marina. The 170s and 15x don't...

When on the 0617 from Chepstow the last two mornings I've noticed that the PIS on a 150 yesterday and 158 today, have been showing that the train goes to Pye Corner and then returns to Newport before continuing to Cardiff? I'm guessing it's a programming issue but being the same across two...

Moderator note - split from: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/transport-for-wales-class-231-756-flirts.220379/ They're cutting off services to the west of Cardiff requiring a change. We already pay stupid council tax in Monmouthshire because apparently we're all loaded and our public...

As the title says, this is something as a Chepstow local I've often toyed with the idea of. Other than towards Mitchell Troy at the top end the trackbed is essentially completely intact (although it's now a cycleway which is impassable for much of winter to Tintern (heading up the Wireworks...

Does anyone know why TfW regularly seem to be cancelling trains between Maesteg/Cardiff and Gloucester? Seems regular bustitution happens and today there are many cancellations. Anyone able to shed any light on the cause?

Every evening I am stuck delayed, be it on the 1735 or 1835, FROM Caldicot to Chepstow. I assume this is related to Cardiff or Newport, could anyone shed any light? I haven't had an on time train for weeks and while accepting this happens wonder what the reason is?

With TfW operating extra Barry Island services are they not encouraging people to break the five mile rule? Surely going against your political masters is only going to cause huge issues. Personally I'd hope for a full investigation into this "encouraging" of people to go to the beach...

Both the South Wales Metro and MetroWest aim to serve their respective areas but do they not miss the point regarding South Monmouthshire and to a less extent Newport? Recent governmental decisions have led to Chepstow becoming a suburb of Bristol in all but name and with more commuters moving...

As someone that used to live there Caldicot Station is incorrectly named in Welsh. Caldicot isn't the Welsh translation, with it being Cil-y-Coed in Welsh!(Literally Under the Wood). How common is this? Are there any other notable examples?

So I lived just off the former RNPF/RAF (now MoD) Caerwent which is now a training area. Back in circa 2002 locals were invited to drive round the base and view the lost villages etc. I remember there being a shunter in a shed. Does anyone know it's identity and who left it there? I'm...

https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/gloucester-news/another-bridge-over-river-severn-3389047 Why not rebuild the original one considering the alignment hasn't been built on?

So whilst doing research I realised the 175s were originally meant to be 125 capable units so I ask the question, can two car units be 125mph due to breaking force unlike loco hauled sets?
