IT has been clear for some time that the Transport for Wales (TfW) services that pass through Hereford are not fit for purpose.
The small units being deployed on a great many services are not designed for long-distance services, they cannot keep to the timetable and have no adequate luggage provision.
I recently travelled to Cardiff on a train consisting of two single class 153 units, the worst unit in service.
It was an overcrowded joke.

Perhaps TfW will tell us why there are, at the last reported count, 11 of the larger 175 units stored at Holyhead awaiting maintenance and a great many brand-new trains dumped everywhere, even at Llanwern steel works.
What a way to run a railway.
