Erm ... sorry, grahame, but I'm inclined to agree with TerminalJunkie:

Quote

In contrast to English practice, "A", "E", "I", "O", "U", "W" & "Y" are considered vowel letters in Welsh.

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Four trains an hour pledge for Wrexham-Bidston rail line

Train services will increase four-fold on a line dubbed the "Cinderella" route linking north Wales with Merseyside.

Only one train an hour currently runs on the Borderlands line between Wrexham and Bidston.

Transport for Wales (TfW) have told Flintshire councillors they plan to replace ageing track and signalling to allow faster and more frequent trains.

"Fairly basic" stations on the line will get better facilities, with a new stop at Deeside Industrial Estate.

TfW told a virtual meeting of councillors the aim was to run four trains an hour directly into Liverpool from Wrexham, starting with two services an hour from December.

I admit to being slightly jealous ... with one train every 2.5 hours or so here in Wiltshire. If that is "Cinderella" then what are we even lower than that?

But good luck to them ... I would be happy with a step up here to hourly, with a further train each hour Bristol - Bradford on Avon - Melksham - Corsham - Bristol in a few years.
