.@transport_wales in February got confused between cl. 756s with their own blog post and reported Tram-Trains in service this year. This month, they also got confused between their cl. 231 and 756 units. This poor and sometimes disingenuous communication has to improve.
No need to mind the gap here!

Great to see a new train on the valley lines this morning. @tfwrail 231108 back and forth between Treherbert and Cardiff Central all day. Morning commute usually packed on a 2 car 150 now has plenty of room to sit, walk through the train. Keep it up TFW.

🚇A historic moment for the Core Valley Lines The first electric train, the brand new Class 756, successfully ran during daylight hours between Cardiff and Pontypridd. ℹ️ news.tfw.wales/news/756-headl…
The first phase of Cardiff Crossrail has taken a step forward today–with news that a design and build partner will be appointed, to deliver the detailed design for the first phase of the scheme from Cardiff Central to Cardiff Bay train station. More here: orlo.uk/dptTz
Some @railadventureen Class 20 action from early this morning. Tram-Train delivery footage is on @SW_MetroUpdates.

Had the Amey Wales team in the office today. It's impressive how much work has been done already on Valley lines. It is really getting there soon.

@tfwrail Given the number of people traveling on Sunday. Why not extend the 2F66 (Rhymney@1712 -Cardiff@1811) from Cardiff to Penarth filling the 2h gap in the service. The train only goes to Shed after only to come off later to form another Rhymney Service.
@SW_MetroUpdates A future @LevelBoarding route!
@SW_MetroUpdates Work needed on those verticals!
@SW_MetroUpdates 116 was one of the two I caught on delivery in November, along with 117. 😊
@SW_MetroUpdates They’ll probably still blame all these delays on Covid 😂😂 That don’t wash with me I’m afraid 😑
@Amanwy I hope you will hold TFW to account. They’ve been reluctant to publish a public plan and hesitant to share anything. Now we know why. This is an embarrassment for a flagship project. Years more disruption. Millions invested for no tangible benefit in the near term. 😔
Industry consultations released today make for an unfavourable #SouthWalesMetro delivery timeline. ⚡️Electrification to Coryton, Caerphilly & Cardiff Bay, NOVEMBER 2024 ⚡️Electrification to Rhymney, excluding Tir-Phil, SEPTEMBER 2025
@SW_MetroUpdates Why the continual delays? Sickening mismanagement from TfW again
@SW_MetroUpdates I should have said hi, we were on the platform then the bridge above the depot with you.
@SW_MetroUpdates I noticed 398014 and 015 on depot not sure when they arrived
398004 (probably) is been delivered to Taffs Well tonight, early hours of the morning in a drag from Old Dalby to Pontypridd via Pengam sidings with 20142 and 20189. @SW_MetroUpdates
@SW_MetroUpdates Not quite what I expected to see NGL
@Huxleypiguk @SW_MetroUpdates How much in 2024 is the question…..
@SW_MetroUpdates And here's to seeing the changes across the Valleys come into play. Big changes ahead.
