Transport for Wales

[A Quiet Monkfish]

For the second time in as many weeks, the now only hourly Cardiff Bay service is cancelled at the last minute..as is the one after it. Dozens stranded, women walking into town in the dark, no announcements whatsoever...

It's unbelievable how bad it is.

Why do we put up with this shit in Wales?

The Arriva 'trains' are actually converted, second hand trams. They're an embarrassment.

Which ones are these? It was talked about 5-6 years ago but I haven't heard anything since.

The ones - for example - that run from Ninian Park to the suburbs, etc. They weren't built as locos, but are actually trams around 30 years old bought second hand from somewhere in Europe, then converted. That's why they make that sound when they're starting up. They're wrecks !
