I don't bet but yesterday morning I was certain that the three matches I was interested in yesterday would end with Wales beating England, Harlequins beating Bristol and Norwich City beating Bristol City, and I turned out to be correct with all three. I was so certain in my own mind that I wondered what sort of price I would get if I laid an accumulator bet (I think that's the correct term) involving the three games. I mentioned it lightheartedly to my wife yesterday morning. Many pundits thought that England would beat Wales, that Harlequins would beat Bristol and that Norwich City-Bristol City would be a draw, so I might have got reasonable odds for an accumulator.Well apparently yesterday wasn't a dream! Wales 21 England 13! Didn't see that coming!
As well as the Cardiff to Anglesey route and by road there is another way of getting to Angelsey from Cardiff and that is by train and like the air route there is also a subsidised train the Geralt Cymro, 'Gerald of Wales' which like the air service operates Monday to Friday only.
I've done the journey to the north of Wales a few times now by road and air so i think maybe next time i'll give this a try!
I believe it's too provide a First Class service at specific times of the day for Assembly members and business travellers, between the north of Wales and the south. It's the onl Transport for Wales service that has a First Class carriage.Why does the WG subsidise this train at £2 million a year when there are also other trains that run between Cardiff and Holyhead at roughly two hour frequency? The other train timings appear to permit a reasonably full day at both ends of the route in the same way that Geralt Cymro does.
Sorry forgot to mention you!I actually had a hand in filming this one! Hoping to take this train myself in the summer.
I thought that might be the reason. I wonder how many Welsh tax payers who have seen their rural bus routes reduced or axed because subsidies have been cut or removed are aware that two million pounds of their money is being spent each year to provide first class rail travel for AMs when there is a perfectly adequate rail service on the route.I believe it's too provide a First Class service at specific times of the day for Assembly members and business travellers, between the north of Wales and the south.

After a little research the morning train leaves Holyhead at 05.34 and arrives in Cardiff at 09.58 and the return from Cardiff to Holyhead leaves at 17.16 and arrives at 21.41.

I expect the WG would provide first class travel on the air route for their Members if it was possible.
I'd imagine people would complain about it just like they complain about the air route yet the same people wouldn't complain if the WG subsidised a route to their favourite holiday destination! When it comes to subsidies i think people are fickle, i've seen many people online complain about the Angelsey route but then lambast the WG for not subsidising a route to New York! In the end the problem is that there isn't an easy way to get from one end of Wales to the other and it is a shame that there isn't a rail line that goes through the heart of Wales rather than the borders.I thought that might be the reason.

For that you'll have to ask the WG! But it is possible that many AMs and business people prefer the train. My sister uses trains to London a lot and says it's preferable to the plane as she can get more work done. It could have that attraction for many AMs and business people.so why do the

I've no doubt they'll pick up some passengers especially ones travelling independently but the ones on the official packages will no doubt end up flying out of London.Great victory for the Welsh team, perhaps Qatar Airways will pick up plenty of passengers for Japan from CWL, they and the airport may start advertising the route soon.
