You mentioned a more local bus service from Newport going east. Ironically the hourly Severn Express service that routes Bristol bus station- Cribbs Causeway-Chepstow-Newport bus station no longer links such places as Magor and Caldicot. Instead, it operates along the motorway between Chepstow...

Fair enough, but making road access into South Wales (the most populous area of the country and the biggest economic engine) easier and toll-free, with the clear implication that more traffic will ensue and be needed to feed the economy, seems at odds with doing nothing to alleviate a major...

https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/m4-traffic-relief-road-newport-2934204 Bristol Live (Bristol Post) is reporting that the M4 relief road around Newport is set to be rejected by the Welsh Government tomorrow. It's of interest to the Bristol area because increasing numbers of...

We used to go to Amsterdam regularly. Haven't done so for a few years. I like the place too. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

Have a great trip, Ray

Double celebration today then after that incredible won over the Mighty Millers.

I didn't know there was a 4.30 in the morning. Safe journey.

MOL must think Brexit won't be so bad after all. Either that or he's got some inside information that Scotland is about to declare independence and remain in the EU.

Reading Station has had a massive overhaul in recent years. I think it's the second busiest on the GWR system after Paddington. Is it a decent way of getting from LHR to the South Wales trains? I presume there is a link bus. Which company is it?

Sounds marvellous. The Cardiff region already has an excellent local rail network and this is going to enhance it still further.

Is all this being paid for by the Welsh Government? I thought I read somewhere in the recent past that private investment was involved in some of the new rail station developments which, if true, is what we want to hear. I do anyway.

https://www.networkrail.co.uk/our-railway-upgrade-plan/key-projects/heathrow-rail-link/ Public consultation begins today regarding a rail link into LHR from the GWR main line that would mean travellers from the SouthWest, South Wales, South Coast and West Midlands having direct access to the...

I don't know whether a spur into LHR from the GWR main line from/to South West England/West of England/South Wales is still being considered. There was once talk of trains from the south west corner of Britain using the spur. The snag is this would reduce the overall time to reach Paddington...

Thanks for all that, Jerry. I doubt they were picking up for a flight today as I saw the vehicle around three o'clock and the last CWL departure today was 1420. They might have been dropping off though with Alicante, Rome amd Edinburgh the ones that would have roughly fed into the timescale.

Is this a new road or the widening of an existing one? Does the airport-city centre shuttle bus travel via this route and will these improvements potentially speed up the shuttle journey? On another matter, I was in Bristol city centre this afternoon and saw a mini bus bearing the logo 'Cardiff...

Have a great time. I always enjoy Amsterdam and the surrounding area. You timed it right as you will have missed the behaviour of some of the England so-called football supporters of the past couple of days.

The rationale according to Ryanair is, "....... the weaker Glasgow market where efforts to stimulate low fare demand are severely hampered by the continuing burden of APD". You would think that applies to PIK more so than to GLA, yet more routes remain at PIK following today's announcement...

Very envious of the Metro this side of the estuary. We have to rely on the UK government, and the Greater Bristol proposed Metro is very small beer anyway and dependent on Hammond et al. I think I will begin a campaign for an English government. After all, if Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland...

Isn't the Valley Lines electrification being funded by the Welsh Government? The electrification to Bristol and Bath has also been axed - by the UK government - and it seems permanently, despite a huge sum already spent on upgrading those parts of the line that won't now be electrified. The...
