Weds 11th Midday: Just checked live train times. Aberystwyth – Machynlleth – Shrewsbury showing as running. Machynlleth – Pwllheli and Blaenau Ffestiniog – Llandudno still suspended.
I seriously don’t envy the Orange Army digging our rail network out right now. If that’s you, just to let you know your efforts are seriously appreciated.
Since every other operator is running Shrewsbury to Birmingham, why TfW can’t manage it is nothing to do with storm damage to infrastructure. They’ve got so many other services cancelled it can’t be due to a lack of stock either.
N.wales coast line trains whats happening
There will be a great reason given that cuts you dead, but I can’t help thinking that some arem trying hard enough to run at least something approaching a service rather than closing a massive stretch of line.
