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

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.Comment

Re: Welsh railway bosses admit they have traditionally focused more on rugby
Its ridiculous. The network copes with broken down trains or cancelled services and corrects itself, so it clearly could lay on some extra services or carriages, that people would pay for remember! These games are known many weeks or months in advance.
It just goes to show the sustainabilty push is often more words than actions.
That said..I do regularly get the train from Grangetown on Saturday games and I think its a decent service.Comment

Just a thought.
Why aren’t trains required to keep to the 20 mph speed limit?Comment

Because they're so knackered they can't go that fast up the valley.Originally posted by light up the darkness View PostComment

Nothing wrong with a business led approach, providing wealth trickles down which it has.Originally posted by TWGL1 View PostComment

Re: Welsh railway bosses admit they have traditionally focused more on rugby
When and where has the wealth "trickled down"? I would have thought that the austerity years have proved the opposite applies, I suppose pensioners haven't done too badly, but all that's happened there is that they've kept pace with inflation while the large majority of the working population have not.Originally posted by NinianOpinion1927 View Post
As for the real subject of this thread, what a shocking admission to make, even though most knew about it already.Comment

Re: Welsh railway bosses admit they have traditionally focused more on rugby
I suppose the trickle down argument was won during the cold war. Soviet Union living standards were far lower than the capitalist nations. I'm not some raving capitalist but those countries do seem to produce good overall living standards for everyone.Originally posted by the other bob wilson View PostComment
