this is a bloody stupid, shortsighted decision.

Joking aside (Cardiff get everything, Jacks would raid the meter, etc)
this is a bloody stupid, shortsighted decision.
It was never going to happen, west of Cardiff is viewed as farming land or somewhere to go on holiday in London. Let's be honest, Swansea has very little going for it in many ways particularly business.
And poor transport links will make it more and more that way, let alone further along the track again.
Eventually, if 'we' are not careful 'we all' may up living towards the centre of the country, with absolutely no feck given about the more 'remote' areas !
Except for occasional holidays, where the visitor might also note the fact that the places are run down and have no amenities, no surgeries, no hospitals, poor transport, abandoned areas and un-repaired roads, unmotivated locals dealing with demanding customers for 6 quid an hour for a few hours a week .. etc etc
And thus never go again! And warn others off. Thus compounding the issue.
It could happen. It already is beginning to.
That's the way of the world unfortunately. Many publications estimate that by 2050 70% of the worlds population will live in cities. With a burgeoning population it makes sense to concentrate amineities on where they can serve more people, more effiently, for a lower resource cost per head.
Should we pander to rural communities who for the most choose to live there without necessity or choose where we as a country can get more 'bang for our buck'
Must admit I don't understand what the impact of electrification is. Does it mean trains being all electric like the tube?
Every slight like this is another vote for Plaid.
I just looked it up

Does this mean no valley lines electrification either? Or was that already off the cards, as you'd have thought that would have the bigger impact than just doing the mainline as far as Cardiff
Thicko question - Does it mean that if you're travelling from London to Swansea that you'll have to change trains at Cardiff?
never mind that bobh cardiff parkway is coming

10 years too late but still....
Haven't they already built the depot for the electric trains adjacent to Swansea station?
Wales didn't vote Tory so doesn't get badly needed infrastructure.
That's the way, at this moment I shall say UK because it's probably not just one party who looks at it this way, UK politics works.
Meanwhile in India they launched a solar panel train. UK needs to look to a more greener innovative solution for public transport, countries a joke ffs!
Monorail.
Cardiff does get everything yes. But a stronger, better connected Swansea is better for Cardiff.
On a trial run today
