Interesting bit of info from Charlie Hume, in his latest newsboard, as he reports
It will be interesting to see whether Arriva Trains Wales operations will be merged in any way with Chiltern Trains, already owned by DB, and/or Wrexham & Shropshire, of which DB is a major shareholder. Hiring locos from DB Schenker should also be facilitated. We hear that W&S train crew have been 'learning the road' on the North Wales Coast for reasons not clear at the time of writing.
Anything to do with "Gerald the Wag Express?" and all the rumours about this train I wonder what W/S staff who contribute to Rail Forums will make of this.

Charlie always has his ears to the gound, so something in the offing.
