  • Newsletter of Railfuture in Wales
    Issue 64 Spring 2018 Rail Wales Newsletter of Railfuture in Wales A sign of the changing times: a HST 125 enters Cardiff Central in January 2018 shortly after the first electrification masts had been installed. By the end of 2018 the new bi mode trains supplied by Hitachi should have replaced the 40-year-old HSTs on the Swansea-London route. Photo: Julian Langston Rail Wales issue 64 Spring 2018 www.railfuturewales.org.uk Page 1 WELCOME Rail Wales is published every six months and looking back at events since the last issue, it sometimes seems that the fast pace of significant news would require a weekly issue to keep Railfuture members up to date with the ever-evolving rail scene. Needless to say, the ongoing saga of the letting of the Wales and Borders franchise provides the main focus of attention. Shortly before the last issue of Rail Wales appeared, Arriva announced that it was withdrawing from the bidding process. This reduced the bidders to three. However, the withdrawal of a second bidder in February 2018 was not as a result of that company (Abellio) deciding to walk away but as a result of the financial collapse of its civil engineering partner, Carillion. The two bidders still standing are Keolis and MTR. With only two companies now competing, this weakens the hand of Transport for Wales (the organisation set up by the Welsh Government to undertake the selection of the new operator) to obtain the best outcome. It is hoped that the ongoing discussions, which are nearing conclusion, will result in a franchise award which provides existing and potential new rail users in Wales and adjacent areas of England with a markedly improved service in terms of service frequency, reliability, comfort and value for money.

  • Traeth Mawr Viaduct Gets £1.85M Investment to Improve Resilience on Cambrian Line
    Traeth Mawr Viaduct gets £1.85m investment to improve resilience on Cambrian Line February 12, 2021 Network Rail is helping to improve the resilience of the Cambrian Line with a £1.85m project to restore Traeth Mawr Viaduct with work due to begin Saturday 13 February. Engineers will replace timbers on the rail over river viaduct during a nine-day closure of the Cambrian Line from 13 to 21 of February. Transport for Wales will be running rail replacement services during the work and those who need to travel are advised to plan ahead and allow additional time. Network Rail is carrying out a number of projects on the Cambrian Line to improve resilience, including the £25m restoration of Barmouth Viaduct. Bill Kelly, route director for Network Rail Wales and Borders, said: “2021 is an exciting year for investment in the Cambrian Line. We will shortly begin refurbishing Traeth Mawr Viaduct, which connects Porthmadog and Minffordd. “Our £1.85m project to replace timber elements on the viaduct will allow us to continue providing a safe, reliable and resilient railway for many years to come. “This project can help to prevent future periods of unplanned work, minimising disruption for passengers and reducing maintenance costs to the taxpayer.“ James Price, Transport for Wales CEO, said: “It’s great to see Network Rail continuing to make progress in restoring historic structures on the Cambrian Coast Line and safeguarding its future, following Network Rail’s ongoing work to restore Barmouth Bridge. This investment sits alongside our own investment in transforming services throughout the Wales and Borders network, including brand new trains for the Cambrian Coast Line in the years to come.

  • Newsletter No. 73 AUGUST 2017 ARE FINES and /OR PENALTY FARES COMING to the CAMBRIAN LINES?
    SARPA Newsletter Page 1 Shrewsbury Aberystwyth Rail Passengers’ Association Newsletter No. 73 AUGUST 2017 ARE FINES AND /OR PENALTY FARES COMING TO THE CAMBRIAN LINES? These notices are appearing at stations on the Cambrian Lines. No one can complain about Arriva Trains Wales trying to ensure that all passengers pay appropriately for their travel, but it will do them no favours to take a heavy hand on the Cambrian Lines. The poster offers little information and is hardly without threats. And based on the evidence to date of their communication strategy for the change leaves much to be desired. A Welshpool resident has complained about the situation to the local MP and AM as well as Arriva Trains Wales. The reply received from Lewis Brencher (Head of Communications at Arriva Trains Wales) seemed to show, at the very least, a lack of knowledge of the Cambrian Lines. The letter sets out that “many stations already have a means to purchase a ticket” and goes on with a bit of self praise stating “[we] have installed 136 ticket vending machines on our network over recent years”. Well yes, some stations on the Cambrian lines do have ticket machines and Newtown, Aberystwyth, and Machynlleth have manned ticket offices for at least some part of the day. Remote from their stations the Welshpool Tourist Information Centre is open on Sundays as well as weekdays, and Barmouth TIC sells tickets during the summer. So far as machines are concerned there isn’t one at Machynlleth, Newtown, Borth or Dovey Junction or anywhere up the coast line from there to Pwllheli (25 stations or request stops in all).

  • REPORT to CABINET 11 June, 2013
    REPORT TO CABINET 11 June, 2013 Cabinet Member: Councillor W Gareth Roberts Subject: Barmouth Bridge Contact Officer: Gwyn Morris Jones, Head of Highways and Municipal The Decision Sought/Purpose of the Report To approve work required to establish the best way in future of maintaining the rights to use the path on the Bridge for cyclists and pedestrians and to accept that it will not be possible to collect tolls from users of the path until a solution is in place. Local Member’s Views I welcome the recommendation; the Report is comprehensive in terms of detail and information. 1 Introduction 1.1 Alongside Barmouth Railway Viaduct is a footbridge, with connecting paths at each end, which provides a link for pedestrians, cyclists and motor cyclists between Morfa Mawddach (Arthog) and Barmouth across the Mawddach estuary. This footbridge is a private path for which, until recently, a toll is charged in order to meet the annual cost set by Network Rail for the right to use the path. 1.2 The path is located in a very scenic part of Gwynedd’s coast; it crosses Morfa Mawddach on a Bridge of historical relevance. The path is of national importance as part of the Wales Coastal Path and part of the National Cycle Route linking North to South Wales since 1996. The path is a tourist attraction and of local importance to residents of Barmouth and Arthog. 1.3 Gwynedd Council is the owner of the tollhouse near the Bridge and, until recently, it was home to a married couple employed by the Council for the purpose of collecting tolls from users of path from Easter to the end of September every year.
