@tfwrail Thank you

@MrLewisEnglish1 Hi, as far as I can see this train has just departed Garth, have you managed to catch the train? ^Nia

What is happening with this train, please? @tfwrail

@tfwrail Thank you.

@MrLewisEnglish1 Just had a look into this and there is engineering works taking place from Cardiff Central to Bridgend, closing some lines. As a result, services between Maesteg and Cardiff Central will be terminating / starting at Bridgend. ^Ben

@tfwrail Hi. Are you able to explain why there are no direct trains to Cardiff from Maesteg this Saturday, please?

@tfwrail Great, thanks 👍🏻

@MrLewisEnglish1 Hi, I'm sorry to hear your train is delayed, unfortunately I can't see a specific reason behind this delay. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause ^Nia

@tfwrail Why is this train delayed, please?

Every single day there are delays, absolute shambles. ⁦⁦@huw4ogmore⁩ you give an update on this train, please? No communication at station ⁦@tfwrail⁩

@tfwrail Thanks for your help.

@MrLewisEnglish1 Hi, the bus should be with you in the next 5 to 10 minutes. ^Nia

@tfwrail What’s it today? Trespassers on the tracks? Too many trains needing repairs at the depot? Fault with the signalling system? Is this train going to make it Maesteg or drop us in Tondu?

@tfwrail No bus in Tondu @tfwrail

@MrLewisEnglish1 Hi, yes there will definitely be a bus to take passengers from Tondu to all stops to Maesteg. ^Nia

@tfwrail Can you confirm there will definitely be a bus? @tfwrail

@MrLewisEnglish1 Hi, unfortunately, your train will be terminating early at Tondu, our team are currently organising buses to take passengers from Tondu to Maesteg. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause ^Nia

@tfwrail @huw4ogmore @tfwrail This continued mistreatment of commuters travelling to the valleys is a disgrace.

@tfwrail Can you confirm what is going on with this train, please? If it’s going to be cancelled this needs to be communicated. I can see it still hasn’t left Pontyclun @tfwrail

@MrLewisEnglish1 Hi, I'm sorry to hear your train is delayed. Unfortunately, the train is delayed due to a fault with a level crossing. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause ^Nia

@tfwrail Thanks, a new one. Had a different excuse this week to explain this train being late. I’ll add it to list of excuses @tfwrail come out with to justify their continued incompetence.

@tfwrail @huw4ogmore @hu The fact remains you are consistently failing to complete journeys to Maesteg.

@MrLewisEnglish1 @huw4ogmore @hu I can see that the screenshot is of the Trainline app, unfortunately I'm not aware of why that would be the reason they are displaying. The reason that has been provided by our control centre for the cancellation is a fault on the train. ^Gwen 1/2

What’s the excuse today for why you’re cancelling trains before they arrive in Maesteg? Not fit for purpose ⁦@tfwrail⁩ ⁦@huw4ogmore⁩

@tfwrail @huw4ogmore Strange that because the app says something completely different. Perhaps aim for consistency with your excuses at least @tfwrail @hu

@MrLewisEnglish1 @huw4ogmore Good afternoon, unfortunately due to a fault on this train it will be terminated at Tondu. Sorry for any inconvenience ^Gwen

*RETWEET COMPETITION* We are celebrating #WorldBookDay with one of our legendary retweet competitions! To be in with a chance of winning a TOTE BAG FULL OF BOOKS; - FOLLOW us - RETWEET this Ends today at midnight. Will post within the UK. Good. Luck.

The rise in ticket prices is scandalous when the service @tfwrail provide is so woeful. Late trains, cancelled trains and packed carriages remains the norm @huw4ogmore

@tfwrail Zero communication of this in Port Talbot @tfwrail

@MrLewisEnglish1 Hi there, our 07:53 service is currently delayed by a fault on the train. Unfortunately we don't have an estimated time for this train. Our 08:20 service is also delayed, but this train is expected to arrive at around 08:27. I'm sorry for these delays ^Holly

Any idea when a train is going to arrive in Port Talbot to depart to Neath? @tfwrail
