Thread: Cardiff metro

  1. #1

    Cardiff metro

    I will admit I haven't paid much attention to these plans over the last several years, but this seems great, a big step forward if it happens

    Circle line, crossrail, airport station etc

    A huge step, they might actually finish it by 2090 at this rate

    I've heard of this metro thing for a while now, other than changing the rail franchise has anything happened, anywhere? Saw this morning they are now on about a crossrail system also.

    All fancy plans, only people benefiting out of this are those doing consultations or those drawing up the plans.

    Might have a train station in the east of the city sometime in 30 years.

    Been waiting for St Mellons Parkway for at least 25 years.
    Can't see it happening for another 25, at least.

    Re: Cardiff metro

    All to turn Cardiff into a 20mph city.
    Can’t go much above that these days with the traffic and the amount of jagged speed bumps that don’t get maintained.

    If only we'd known. We could have slipped you £20m and saved ourselves a fortune.

    I'd congestion charge the center and surrounding area , double charge parking fee's , use the revenues to fund a proper transport systems ,create more transport jobs and services .

    Stop vanity projects for 5 years , slow down on recycling madness as were ahead of most in Europe anyway , and get it done and fit for purposes ,and healthy for our children.

    Come on Labour show us what you got , make us proud and a showpiece city ,you have had a lot of time in power.

    Re: Cardiff metro

    All these plans for metro should have been in place before the huge building of housing estates commenced. No plan for the area between Lisvane and Pontpennau where loads of houses are planned. No link to the sport Village from Grangetown as they are building on the old track now.

    Dreadful planning no coordination , if this was a private run business they be would be sacked, just feel there is under skilled folk running our decision making and planning

    But doesn't this imply starting the congestion charge and double charging parking comes before the money for the upgrading for public transport is available from these actions? Which means that again the driver is suffering before any reasonable alternative is available.
    This is the problem, they penalise the driver but do not offer a usable alternative. So people will not/cannot get out of their cars.

    Have they put in a station for the ****-tonne of houses being built between fair water/danescourt and creigiau and further, with no changes to the roads?

    If you look at the map in the first post you will see the stations proposed for these places. Heaven only knows when or if it will happen
