Commuters let down as TFW reliability slips below national standard

Commuters let down as TFW reliability slips below national standard.

Cancellation rates at Wales’ busiest train stations are well above the British national average of 3.3%. Newport tops the list with 5.4% of services cancelled, followed by Cardiff Queen Street (4.3%), Cathays (4.1%), Treforest and Wrexham (both 4%), and Cardiff Central (3.8%).

Commenting, Welsh Conservative Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Transport & Infrastructure, Sam Rowlands MS said:

“For Wales to be performing worse than both England and Scotland on cancellations shows that far more must be done to deliver a reliable transport network.”

“Labour has poured more than £1 billion into Transport for Wales, it’s high time commuters saw a real improvement in services and a return on that investment of taxpayers’ money.

“Cancellation rates at our busiest stations are higher than the British average. From Newport to Cardiff, Cathays to Wrexham, reliability is slipping across the network and commuters are being badly let down.”
