DID YOU
KNOW
Arriva
trains Wales have concocted a fiendish roundabout service between
Porth and Ystrad Rhondda.
With
regular monotony certain trains reaching Porth from Cardiff are so
late that in order to make up time there is a non stop service
between Porth and Ystrad stations.
This
means that those wishing to alight at Dinas, Tonypandy or
Llwynypia stations either have to wait for the next train, which
might also be late, or travel up to Ystrad and catch the down
train that has to wait there until the up train has arrived.
 This
was the situation on Tuesday 25th October when the 1500pm Porth to
Treherbert was running late. The guard gave the passengers
the bad news and many decided to stay on until Ystrad.
Being keen to get home they scampered off at Ystrad, galloped over
the bridge and jumped on the down train.
Then the
surreal happened. The guard told them the train was going
non stop to Porth because they were running late.
What do
you think Arriva Wales are up to?
Can you
imagine an endless cycle of journeys between Ystrad and Porth
where the passengers wanting to get off at Llwynypia, Tonypandy
and Ystrad will live in a never ending limbo?
Their families will have to gather at these stations to throw food to their nearest and dearest and hold up their children as the train speeds past. |

Did you know... when exactly was that bomb dropped here?
Locals will be only too sadly familiar with the Treorchy scene above... ...unfortunately practically every visitor that comes here also gets to see this horrific little 'bomb crater' that now blesses the site of our former snooker hall and once long-time favoured bingo premises... so who now owns this shambles and when exactly do they intend to either build something worthy of its spot-on location at the very heart of our village or at least drain and fill in this possible local health hazard? e-mail magazine@treorchy.net if you have any info about this site - please!!! * * * "You ask on Treorchy.Net about who owns the site near the railway station which you describe as a bomb site. The land registry will be able to provide you with all the information you need for £4. Two pounds for a drawing of the site and the other for the title deeds copy. Hope that helps Richard Clarke" |
