Why have TFW advance tickets on the South Wales to Manchester route got so expensive all of a sudden? I have just priced up a journey from Neath to Manchester for 2 advance singles for the last weekend in May, which is within the 6 week window when TFW advances go on sale. I was surprised when...

Hi All, I have a query regarding delay repay on a first class ticket. The train was over 15 minutes late (Transport for Wales) but not over 30 minutes so id be entitled to 15 minutes delay repay. However as I had a first class ticket priced £40 that was purchased several weeks in in advance...

Having a day off work today and it being reasonably nice weather compared to the past few days I decided to have a day out on the TFW network. it was a toss up between riding a 197 to Haverfordwest/Milford or a trip on the Heart of Wales Line which I have neglected since at least December 2019...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/cardiff-area-service-reliability.250159/ Cardiff Central isn't an ideal place for terminating trains given most have to cross the mainline to get to the sidings. In the new timetable I think Maesteg services are running to Ebbw...

I need to submit a claim for delay repay. The TOC is Transport for Wales. The arrival time in the WTT is showing as 32 minutes late. In the public timetable its showing as 28 minutes late. My query therefore is can I claim for a delay over 15 minutes as per the public timetable or for over 30...

One thing ive noticed after spending time at Cardiff Central a few times in recent months is the amount of terminating trains there are on platforms 0-4. Now Cardiff isnt the best place for terminating trains as they have to cross the main line and then be stabled in sidings until forming their...

Moderator note: Split from https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/caf-civity-for-tfw.182501/ thats good news. I may pick up a copy next time im in WHSMITH. Any idea when the plan is to introduce the first lot into service? I guess they will be used in North Wales first before replacing the...

Can anyone tell me how many pacers are booked on the Maesteg-Cheltenham services and which diagrams they appear on. Monday to Saturdays. Thanks.

Can anyone provide an up to date list of which Saturday and Sunday South Wales to Manchester services and return journey are booked for 158s and 150s? (on a normal weekend when there isn't engineering works disrupting everything). I found myself on a 150 all the way from Manchester to Port...

I have noticed a 153 on a Pembroke Dock Diagram quite a few times in recent weeks, its the one that starts at Cardiff 6.42am and runs to Pembroke Dock. When ive seen it recently its been a single 153. I wondered if this is now booked 153 or is it just a case that the wrong unit appeared on the...

Does anyone know which Manchester-Cardiff/Milford diagrams are booked for a 158, 175 or even 150 on a Sunday? I know during the week and Saturdays almost all are booked for 175s. Last Sunday I was at Manchester and there was a 150 sat at one platform, i guessed this was the set that gets...

Apologies if this has been mentioned before but can someone tell me how many pacers are booked for Pembroke Dock services on Saturdays? I know on weekdays all 3 diagrams are 3 x 150s but I wondered about Saturdays. Which diagrams if any are booked pacers? Thanks. :)

Does anyone know if all 3 weekday Swansea to pembroke dock diagrams are booked for 150s now. Everytime ive seen them recently on a weekday they have been 150s rather than the 2 x pacers and 1 x 150 that I thought was booked for these diagrams. Saturday is the only time i seem to see any pacers...

Just wondering whether the Swansea-Pembroke Dock services will revert back to single cars (i.e 153s) during the winter timetable. This year they were strengthened to 2 cars (albeit mainly pacers) for the entire Summer, not just high summer as in previous years (i.e. Saturdays, Bank Holidays...
