@StagecoachWales Hi there. I have been trying to raise an issue with the company since Christmas with your MD without success. Who should I contact please? Many thanks.

@paddypower You do realise as their main sponsor this whole exercise was a total disaster, and has undone years of reputation and brand development. I'm a PDC TV member - who has been going to the darts for years - and haven't been able to get onto the website since midday yesterday.

World Darts tickets on sale for thousands on Viagogo already while I still sit in the PDC members' queue.....

@Amanwy @BazzaThePlanner @20isPlentyUK @WGClimateChange @WG_Communities @JulieJamesMS @Brecon_TC @PowysCC @Brakecharity @createstreets @livingstreets I don’t know about the second part Lee. I can certainly ask and feed back.

@BazzaThePlanner @Amanwy @20isPlentyUK @WGClimateChange @WG_Communities @JulieJamesMS @Brecon_TC @PowysCC @Brakecharity @createstreets @livingstreets Delivery driver friend of mine has seen her working day increase by two hours a day this week. That’s brutal for the work life balance. And economically we can start to calculate the money this is costing our country, minute by minute, hour by hour, it adds up.

[Alastair Milburn @AMilburn]

@paul_vosloo @ITV Agreed. Really strange for a country that’s not in the ITV remit

@markhutchings1 @swalesmetroprof @SamRowlands_ @WillHayCardiff The buses are very unaffected Mark, especially say Blackwood to Cardiff. The buses often have to stop at stops because they are ahead of their scheduled times. But I’m sure someone who knows better than me will have crunched the numbers.

[Alastair Milburn @AMilburn]

@swalesmetroprof @SamRowlands_ @WillHayCardiff Someone in Blackwood working in Cardiff will need to get up 30 mins earlier and will get home 30 minutes later. That person loses one hour of their day because of this change, 5 hours a week more away from their family. That’s not the society we want to create in Wales, surely?

[Alastair Milburn @AMilburn]

@swalesmetroprof @SamRowlands_ @WillHayCardiff Taxi and bus fares will have to rise otherwise they will no longer be viable, surely? People will have to spend more money on travel and so bit by bit you get to your ‘nonsense’ figure?

[Alastair Milburn @AMilburn]

@swalesmetroprof @SamRowlands_ @WillHayCardiff In short, journey times in Wales increase by 50pc from next month or am I missing something?

[Alastair Milburn @AMilburn]

@swalesmetroprof @SamRowlands_ @WillHayCardiff Not sure I quite understand you reply, Mark. It’s correct but has no validity? As an aside, no one has flagged that a bus from Cardiff to Blackwood will now take 30 minutes longer, that all taxi rides will take 50pc longer. These have serious economic implications, no?
