Re: Fishguard to lose train service?



I find it hard to see the abandonment of this line as a serious loss,
provided that it's accompanied by a bit of an investment in bus services

Now where have I heard that before?

Blasphemer!

Hardly. 2 trains a day, neither of which are useful for a day trip, is
helping nobody but the occasional ferry passenger. Losing 2 trains a
day in favour of an hourly bus service would be a benefit, for example.


Now where have I heard that before?

Two buses a day more like, for a while at least anyway.
