Trains, planes, no automobiles!! 5/11/2008

From Monday 15 December 2008 Arriva Trains Wales will operate direct train services between the Cambrian rail network and Birmingham International Airport.

This will make it much easier and more attractive for residents of Mid Wales to start their international holidays or business trips from their local railway station as well as improving access by train to events at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC).

Gerwyn Jones on behalf of the Cambrian Railways Partnership commented, "With high fuel costs and concerns about our individual carbon footprint these new services offer a convenient way of accessing a major airport and events venue by means other than the car as well as slightly easing our eco-guilt".

An added bonus for all passengers from the new train diagrams, or journey patterns, in operation is that they allow more generous turnaround times at the journeys end which in turn will significantly improve performance on the Cambrian network.
