You could also look at a 2nd hand Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra - as it has 10x Optical Zoom on it. I used to have that phone amazing really! Now have the S23 Ultra but that is way out of that price range!

I meant Stagecoach take the fare out of your bank straight away. Perhaps the way First do it is better! I would not forget to tap off - at least whilst I have my faculties!!! Oh Staecoach whacked their fares up over 20% recently and seen a lot of people complain more expensive than trains now...

Well ticket prices have been overhauled as have zones. (Not the T1 and Pembrokeshire routes). Single journeys capped at £3. You could go from Cardiff to Swansea for £3 single (though would take a while!). Day tickets go up to £6 BUT that is across the 'zones' too. Pushin tap on, tap off it...

Post-Match Full reinstatement of Rhymney, Treherbert, Aberdare and Merthyr services for the evening. Additional capacity added where possible. A blanket quote as Aberdare and Merthyr evening bus replacements are no longer in place! Easier to state I suspect as more looks better!

One great positive I see is the introduction of Sunday hourly services Cardiff to Merthyr etc. I know the plan will be to go to every 30 mins but that is a positive change indeed!

So I have to suffer - it is the kind of issue that could cost me my job - as 30 mins a day lost - as the buses are pathetic? How would YOU feel if you were in my position? That is a bad change - so some prosper the rest lose? This is 2024 - not the 50s!

Well I commute to Cadoxton and I will be getting to work 15 mins later every day due to the change! Progress? I think not 6:08am from Merthyr to Cadoxton arrives at 7:26am (ish). Well the new journey arrives at Central after the train I need to get there at 7:26am leaves! So it is pretty...

Well I booked Bridgend to Llanelli for Friday, and the two after that for £3.30 (50% off) on the 3:06pm and for Saturday Feb 24th on the 7:11am Pyle to Llanelli for £2.80! not bad at all :)

Just passed Quakers Yards. The lighting is fine not mental but cannot any need for them to be there unless of course the lighting is considered too little for security for lone women maybe?

They are at Quakers Yard until March - apparently to guide people with the new platforms in mind and all that. Baffling and a complete waste of money but what do we know eh?

I see my train the 3:06pm (from Bridgend - Llanelli) is a 2 car 150 again! Started 6 mins late from Manchester. Only twice I have been on a 197 - gutted but more gutted as it will undoubtedly be horrendously late again!

I have to say that the loss of direct services to Barry is killer for me. As it stands, I tend to do one train to work, one train back except a Friday when I go West. So will be 4 trains a day! Will be interesting to see how reliable changes will be I can imagine it will NOT go smoothly!

Today was not good! The 2 car 197 from Manchester to Carmarthen (from Bridgend at 3:06 for my arrival at Llanelli for 4:02pm) - was late by 17 mins at Bridgend. However, terminated at Swansea due to lack of train crew. It did not help that the 3pm from Bridgend to Swansea GWR was delayed and...

There is another option - not as convenient of course - but to plug in a USB keyboard or use a smaller bluetooth keyboard. I used to do that when I used my laptop as a desktop replacement. I used to look on youtube for opening up laptops but work it out for myself now - like when I replaced...

Well the TFW site in Journey Check lists closed until 11:59pm 31/12/23! However, they may be putting that in to make themselves look good when Quakers Yard actually reopens!

I tend to always book a ticket from Bridgend to Llanelli on the TFW app now. 3 out of the last 4 times I have had auto delay repay. Twice it was 25% and last Friday it was 50% as it was 45 mins late. Irony was they used a 2 car 158, then attached a 153 and 2x150 on at Swansea but this made...

Well regarding Quakers Yard - in Journey check they say 28th November for restart, but in planned improvement works December 8th! Cannot even get it correct on their own site! I believe December 8th before November 28th mind you!

Well a guy told me this AM the reason why Quakers Yard is till not open. Until yesterday, it was due to reopen today but has today changed to 30/11/23. It is two things (allegedly). Platform Height is wrong, so either the paltform has to be amended or the track lowered/raised. Also, the...

I have been a victim of this at Cardiff Central. On the 6:08am Merthyr to Barry Island Train, they were in Cardiff on time. announced a few mins later this train is cancelled please go to platform 7 and a train will be waiting. Announced then it will be leaving platform 4! We rushed like...

Has anybody got an inkling of when the bus staion is opening (I know will only be partly initially)?
