@tfwrail is it possible to use PAYG on rail replacement buses? With the Ebbw Vale line closed for a whole week, I need to know whether there'll be an option to use this, as I'm not particularly keen on buying more expensive tickets when I'm used to PAYG prices 🤔

[Rhian Pullen @rhiancocker]

@transport_wales @tfwrail I understand that, but this route regularly has 3 carriages during the week, so not sure why on a Saturday this gets reduced 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Rhian Pullen @rhiancocker]

Insane scenes on the 11:25 @tfwrail from NBE-CDF. Train completely full once pax got on at NBE meaning no one could get on at CKY onwards. Not sure why @transport_wales think 2 carriages at peak Saturday travel time is safe/acceptable. I'd be late for work if I hadn't squeezed on

[Rhian Pullen @rhiancocker]

@transport_wales Okay thank you. But I use Pay As You Go every day and after seeing this huge delay am having to find an alternative way to get to work on time - I won't be able to claim delay repay then will I?

[Rhian Pullen @rhiancocker]

Bore da @transport_wales. How on earth can this much of a delay be allowed? Looking at Real Train Times, the train that forms this journey hasn't even left Cardiff yet on its journey up to Ebbw Vale. When you rely heavily on the train being on time for work, this is ridiculous.

Testing the natural acoustics of Lantern Hall with some alt. versions of Gwen Stefani and Shakira with @alterclassical. It’s sounding lush 👌

@HeadteacherBas1 @BassalegSchool1 @WillmottDixon @tmillard85 @PDArchitects @WelshGovernment @NewportCouncil Wow this looks incredible! 😍

[Rhian Pullen @rhiancocker]

Oh dear. The government didn't think about the Welsh pronunciation for that emergency alert did they... 👀 #emergencyalert

Happy holidays from our Music Education team!

This year...

🔸 1260 pupils had Earthsong school music lessons

Looking forward to even more music in 2023!

What a way to end the Christmas term - 2 sold out concerts at @TyntesfieldNT with Bristol Youth Choir! And what a stunning venue too!

[Bristol Beacon Creative Learning @BeaconLearning_]

As lessons, groups and ensembles have now paused for the winter break, we're looking back to our winter concerts.

Our Sparks groups, including our Brass Sparks who are all new to playing with others, blew audiences away with some festive favourites!🎺

[Rhian Pullen @rhiancocker]

@tfwrail just want to check before I get to the station - how do I use tickets that were dated for the strikes on the 13th? Will the barriers automatically let me through or was I meant to have changed them?
