Definitely not Will from The Inbetweeners.

@tfwrail @transport_wales Thank you for the info. I think the proposed later trains will be exactly what's needed and will be appreciated. When is the transformation work scheduled to finish, which I'm assuming would see introduction of the proposed later trains? Thanks

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@tfwrail @transport_wales Any chance of a reply?

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@tfwrail @transport_wales Yes, Rhymney line. 22:34 is crazily early for people out for an evening/event in Cardiff, as has been acknowledged by TfW, yet Rhymney has been left out. Why? Also, much was made of 4 trains an hour from Rhymney and there is now a deafening silence about any progress. Thanks

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@tfwrail Why are later trains being introduced to Merthyr and Treherbert but not to Rhymney?
When will 3 and 4 trains per hour run to/from Rhymney?

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@transport_wales Why has Rhymney not been included in the additional late night services?! The last train is 22:34!

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@tfwrail Fewer trains, not less trains.

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@GeoffNorcott @ITVX Just watched Basic Bloke. An excellent piece of work that you should be justly proud of. Well done, keep doing it.

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@transport_wales @SwanseaCouncil @ArenaSwansea And still 22:34 is the last train from Cardiff for the Rhymney Valley line, meaning people can't enjoy a show/night out without clock watching. Why?

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

I've just emailed my MP to ask them to urge the Chancellor to reduce tax on draught beer & cider served in pubs in the upcoming Budget. Help @CAMRA_Official convince the Chancellor to support consumers, pubs & breweries - contact your MP today:

@tfwrail So why is the last train to Rhymney at 22:34? Chances are it'll mean I miss the end of the game due to the ridiculously early last train.

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@tfwrail 2/2 The lack of comparable investment in transport services across the valleys is a prime example. If the outcome is just more efficient travel up and down the valleys then 50% of the potential will be lost. And that isn't a metro system.

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@tfwrail Thanks for the info. I hope aspiration actually delivers the changes required because if Wales wants a healthy leisure culture (and to reduce private transport) it has to be accessible so people can go out when they want, conveniently and without worrying if they'll get home. 1/2

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@tfwrail Thanks for the reply. This issue has been going on for years, well before the new works. Are you saying there are definite plans to run regular late trains once the work is complete as it's not been publicised with the other timetable changes? What times will the later trains be?

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@UskCC1857 @SGRaynerhomes Got two Umpires and a boundary observer scheduled for Usk v Blaina Welsh Cup game at Usk today (19th May). What's going on?

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@UskCC1857 @SEWCLeague @AllWalesSport @DaveDebate @CFixturelist @swpcl @TheFixtureMan @SWCA_Official @sewalesaco1 @CricketWales @BandDCricket So what's happened to the Welsh cup game v Blaina?

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@tfwrail Good stuff, thanks for letting me know

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@tfwrail Any news?

[Simon Green @BGCBCOD]

@tfwrail You need to be clear whether trains are/aren't running after the concert. It will be another PR disaster to have thousands of people stranded in Cardiff because TfW issued incorrect information. Did no-one there find out the concert finish time before issuing the queue tweet?
