its a state run railway, what does anyone expect? WG controls the airport (shite) and the trains (shite) and its getting worse.

Did you expect all the problems to be sorted overnight? There's a long term plan which will take a few more years yet. It's vital work. Things couldn't have carried on as they were with ATW.

I’ve always found it daft the Coryton/Radyr train is usually only a single carriage.

After the first few stops it’s standing room only and the guard can’t collect or check tickets. They must be missing out on a good few grand every matchday. From a financial perspective surely they can hook up a spare carriage and rota in an extra member of staff on a matchday?

Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice that 95% of my journeys to Ninian Park in the last 2 decades have been free

Wealth trickles down is the biggest pile of muck. It doesn’t happen, ever. It is easily debunked.

Tbf I have recently heard a critique of trickle down economics but it was on a left wing programme. Completely biased so i wasn't entirely convinced

But because you've heard it on a right wing platform, you are convinced?

Nah, I'm more convinced by looking at the living standards of the old Soviet Union, compared to their counterparts across the globe

The network was basically built for wealth extraction, with all the wealth going to london.

Same with the railways the British government built in India - to extract the countries wealth.

absolutely correct

Re: Welsh railway bosses admit they have traditionally focused more on rugby

There is a valid argument that if the wealth was spread more evenly, the there would be no need for “trickling down”
There is also a counter argument, that the more wealth you share, the more certain folk would still fritter it away wastefully and soon be struggling again.

Trickle down economics has been used by most of the west in the last 30/40 years. The rich have got richer and the poor have got poorer. Giving tax cuts to the rich and privatising public services is a terrible, terrible idea unless you’re extremely rich to begin with.

Seeing as the Welsh Government wants us to ditch our cars the provision for midweek city games is pretty poor anyway. I normally take the car for midweek games as too often there is inadequate provision for the valley lines.

Surely it's no rocket science to lay on a few extra trains from Grangetown or Central

It used to be when Stephenson was about.
