    Site News Farewell to "The Local Yokel"

    Best wishes to TLY. I have always enjoyed reading his posts, well written and knowledgable. He will be sorely missed.

    Cardiff Airport - General Thread

    Scarlets have 14 squad members fit and 32 squad members isolating in Belfast, They considered playing the match with a mix of squad members and academy players and possibly some loan players from other Welsh regions. It would not have been a fair match and the Bears would probably won by a...

    Cardiff Airport - General Thread

    The WG is run by a bunch of incompetents . Does Dripford not realise that the people in the north of Wales will continue to use Manchester or Liverpool airport. The people in mid Wales will continue to use Birmingham and in the south they will continue to pour over the bridge in their thousands...

    Our glorious leader has said he wants 20mph to be the default speed limit in all built up areas of Wales.

    KLM

    BBC reporting that Dutch authorites have told Welsh football fans to stay away from Holland. They will not be admitted. There must be hundreds , possibly thousands of fans who would have made the journey in normal times.

    Aer Lingus

    Since I have been following the fortunes of CWL, the Cardiff /Belfast route has been operated by Cambrian, Dan Air, Manx, Manx as British Airways partner, BMI Baby, Air Wales and FlyBe. There may one or two I have missed. Good Luke to Stobart, I hope the route prospers.

    Cardiff Airport - General Thread

    How many airports in Europe are state owned and how many of those actually make money. They are seen as a state assets You could argue that money spent on CWL is no different to the vast sums spent on railways and subsidising buses and bus passes. The Traws Cymru long distance bus network must...

    Memories of Airlines No Longer Flying

    Best flight I have taken was with Ansett Airlines from Sydney to Coffs Harbour. Flight was on a Saab 340. Crew were great and the food served was the best I have ever had on a flight. When I told an Australian friend that I had flown Ansett, He said Aussies refer to the airline as Chance it...

    Flightradar24

    There has been plenty of military aircraft activity in Pembrokeshire for the last three days. I have not seen any aircraft due to poor weather, but have certainly heard them. I believe they were practicing over the Castlemartin tank training area.

    Random Stuff!!

    Drakeford may be an able and clever man, but has the charisma of a wet lettuce. Of the four leaders in the UK he is the one with the lowest profile. He certainly would not make people want to vote for him, in the way that Johnson and Sturgeon capture peoples attention. He is probably Labours...

    Road, Rail & Access Issues

    My sister who lives near Brisbane , told me that if you arrive in Australia, you have to isolate in a hotel at your own expense. She mentioned that the average cost has been mentioned on TV of approx the equivalent of £1500 for a two week stay. If the same applies to this country, who is going...

    Bristol Airport - General Thread

    No idea sorry. Its ironic that the Welsh Government controlled Transport for Wales, should be hiring buses that advertise the rival Bristol airport. They must have had a good deal with Arriva West of England as I have seen photos of two of their double deckers also on Rail replacement work in...

    Bristol Airport - General Thread

    The fall off in traffic at BRS has resulted in some of the Airport flyer buses being redeployed. Two single deck examples are currently on Rail replacement work. The buses are branded for the Weston Super Mare - BRS service but are working between Cardiff and Merthyr Tydfil.

    Random Stuff!!

    How many other people have died from non Covid causes because their treatment especially cancer patients was cancelled or suspended. How many people with serious conditions cannot get to see a specialist because outpatient clinics have been cancelled. I speak from personal experience of the...
