Changing trains at Cardiff

« on: July 09, 2013, 09:36:30 »

I am just looking for a bit of advice here.. I may be travelling via Cardiff on Sunday. Does anyone know if 7 minutes to change trains there sounds ok (I'll have no luggage so can be quick).. I'm just concerned as if I miss my connection there then it's a two hour wait until the next train

I am quite cautious, so with me it depends whether missing the onward train would totally ruin the rest of the day. If it would, then I tend to leave a little more leeway with connections.

I do mostly use rover tickets though, which obviously allow me a fair degree of flexibility with my travel plans.

It wouldn't ruin the rest of the day fortunately.. Although 2 hours is a long time to wait.. But it sounds like it should be ok (assuming the train to Cardiff is on time that is!)
