Updates

Current Situation…

There are departures from Swansea at 0729; 1048; 1450 and 1747, 5th train ex Carmarthen at 0443 (Llanelli at 0512).

From Shrewsbury at 0554; 0835; 1131; 1600 and 1835.

The early train from Llandrindod now leaves at 0605. The similar Llandovery train leaves at 0641.

Saturday: the same times except no early ‘short’ services. Sunday just the 2 through trains. HoWLTA continues to lobby for better Sunday services: there will be an additional early Sunday train in both directions for 6 weeks from August.

With the extra rail services the X48/48 bus schedule is reduced north of Llandrindod.

Departures at 1205 and 1520 from Llandrindod, the later service going through to Shrewsbury.

The return services from Craven Arms at 1350 and the Shrewsbury at 2135.

The late bus from Shrewsbury looks like a useful change, no worries for missed connections late at night.

The Active Travel trains are now running most services on the Line. These units have 10 cycle places plus seating.

What Do You Save Every Day?’

A Railway, possibly.
