It'd be nice to have a line again to Brecon / Hay as well.

There's a freight line from Swansea to almost Glynneath and one from Aberdare to Hirwaun. Reopen the old track inbetween and you could maybe have trains from Aberdare and Merthyr to Cardiff and Swansea, which would have to help the area. potentially extend to linkup the heads of the valleys too.

A proper rail link into the airport terminal building - with a check in desk at Cardiff central where you can leave your bags.

Open a station to get to the St Fagans park for those who don't want to drive - and have a old style station which you could connect to a steam train that does loops of the park.

Here ends my party political broadcast

There’s going to be a new rail station at Ely Paper Mills site but still nothing that I can see about East Cardiff although Plasdwr got a mention

From someone ITK:
"City Line*gets brand new tram-trains [Class 398]. *They are being built by Stadler in Valencia as 3 car trains and are expected in service late 2022 or early 2023. * They will run twice an hour, although extras can be expected whenever people have a burning desire to*get to Ninian Park. *It is being marketed as South Wales Metro, so frequency enhancement is more attractive than longer trains."

Why would anyone want to get to Holyhead quicker? More Assembly bollocks

Out if interest, does anyone know if the Coryton to Radyr line has finally been upgraded to 4 carriages? Last I heard they were due to come into service in April but may have been delayed due to Covid.
