Price of fuel is surely adding to that now, I think some people go there for a small saving and end up paying almost the same with extra fuel costs etc, let alone travel time/car wear and tear.
I’m not sure if it’s a part of the metro plan but a station at the airport would do wonders for business. Currently you have to get off at Rhoose then wait for a connecting bus. You could halve the travel time from Cardiff Central and not need to change over if the trains went direct to the airport.
Make the platform long enough so the Swansea - London trains can stop there and people from Swansea can be at the airport in ~30mins compared to the current ~90mins which also involves 2 changes.
