Subject: Traws Cymru
The WAG have now had a hissy fit because Arriva have registered most of the
rest of the Traws Cymru network commercially which puts their grand vision
at threat, dispite the difficulty of working out what the grand vison is
and (given how long they've been talking about it) when they were >going to
deliver it!

I wonder if the Welsh Government really ARE having a hissy fit about it? It
sounds good to make it appear that they are, maybe.
I'm a little suspicious myself of the way things are ultimately going to go
with Arriva's 'Cymru Express'.....but all the same, good luck to them. What
investment has there been in the North Wales 'Trawscambria' in recent years?
Have their been any improvements in vehicles or timetables?
No - there hasn't. But there's been a constant stream of reports from local
authorities regarding their 'aspirations' (their term) for the future of
these services, but no action. At least Arriva are having a go themselves.
As for WAG, I believe the current administration (and Transport Minister)
are in fact rather less committed to buses than they once were, the reality
of public finances being what they are. The T4 isn't actually all that it
could be (and that's no fault of the operator). Branding and publicity is
insipid and only people south of Brecon have seen any actual improvements in
the basic timetable.
No, I'm firmly convinced that anything which allows WAG to spend less
themselves is probably more welcomed than they'd like us to believe.
