03:59 is good timing from Swansea because this establishment is mostly open until 03:00.

The 03:59 services is very popular with passengers and is well used, There is normally only problems on a saturday morning. I have caught this services a few times especially if i want a day out in London on a weekday as off peak tickets are accepted on it, alsough now i am able to use off peak tickets on the 07:29 Swansea - london service wich gets into London at 10:30.

besides when i last used it on a saturday there were at least  3 police officers on board together with a few ticket inspectors. The drunks seem to only travel between Swansea & Cardiff where another set gets on to go to Newport after which the train is  normally ok then apart from the few who get on at Bristol TM▸ (Train Manager, or possibly Ticket Machine, depending on context) to go to Bath.

besides you should see the 03:30 Swansea - Cardiff sunday service which uses 2 class 153's whcih is very jammed packed.
