It would mean you can live in a lovely environment, with easy public transport links to the main areas of employment.

It would also spread some of the wealth away from Cardiff and into regions that could do with it. Would be great to live in the countryside and still be only 30 mins hassle free transport into the city centre.

Will never happen though - as the house price profit is probably in Cardiff rather than outside. 18 years Labour down the WAG, almost permanent Labour administration in the councils - they have no incentive whatsoever to get it right.
That's exactly what they are trying to achieve with the South Wales Metro. Unfortunately I can't see the system being anywhere near as extensive as it needs to be. But that's mainly due to a lack of money not a lack of will.
