Victory for Cambrian ghost train campaign
I was pleased to end this years summer recess by joining jubilant campaigners on the first
journey of the upgraded 8pm Arriva Trains Wales service from Barmouth to Pwllheli.
Dubbed the ghost train, the mid-evening train only stopped at Harlech, Porthmadog and
Criccieth, with request stops at Abererch and Penychain. Earlier this year campaigners
launched a petition for it to stop at Talybont, Dyffryn Ardudwy, Llanbedr, Pensarn,
Llandanwg, Ty Gwyn, Talsarnau and Penrhyndeudraeth, like services earlier and later in the
day.
In July, I delivered a 384-signature petition to the Assembly and took up the cause with
Arriva Trains Wales and the transport minister.
Following consultation with Network Rail, Arriva has announced that the service will now
stop at all stations on request.
Organiser of the online petition, Graham Hogg wrote on the change.org website:
Well done you have succeeded and Arriva Trains have amended their timetable from
Monday 12 September 2016 and the train will now stop at all stations North of Barmouth
although some will be request stops.
