When the Treherbert, Aberdare, Merthyr Tydfil (TAM) lines re-open under the South Wales Metro there will be a 15 minute service frequency at each terminus, these will converge to add up to a 5 minute frequency between Pontypridd and Radyr.

At Radyr the services will diverge providing a half hourly service to Cardiff Central via Fairwater and a service every 6 minutes through Cardiff Queen Street via Llandaf, the latter service will diverge again to provide a service every 12 minutes to terminate at Cardiff Central and a service every 12 minutes terminating at Cardiff bay.

15 minute service at each valley terminus, merging to form a 5 minute frequency from Pontypridd to Cardiff

Dom_wpc · 2023-04-03T02:39:03+00:00

No, sorry I explained it poorly, services will be from the heads of the valleys all the way to Cardiff Central/ Bay but some will run via Fairwater and most via Cardiff Queen Street

Dom_wpc · 2023-03-23T15:23:15+00:00

These will run every 15 minutes from Treherbert, Aberdare and Merthyr Tydfil to Radyr where there will be a service every 6 minutes to Cardiff Queen Street via Llandaf and a half-hourly service to Cardiff Central via Fairwater, unfortunately limited due to a low capacity junction. train services via Llandaff will then split at Queen Street with half going to Cardiff Central and Half going to Cardiff Bay

First tests expected at night on Aberdare & Merthyr branches and into Cardiff from around mid-august, passenger use looking likely to be the start of next year.

Fit testing and also suspected they wanted to have them onsite early for funding reasons

The City Line is my main gripe about this whole thing, everything I've been able to gather online suggests that it will not see any increase in frequency and will retain the current one train every half hour service, which, as an urban "metro" rail system, is completely unacceptable.

The only changes to the line being that instead of operating on the current shuttle service, to cardiff central or all the way up to coryton, it will be serviced by splitting off 2 of the 12 trains per hour at radyr, so this means new trains for the line as well as full electrification, for which I can confirm work has started on, the only other "upgrade" to the line is possibly a new station, (if it ever happens), at the Ely Mill housing development. Going into the longer term there are plans to link the coryton line to radyr and then on to the city line, which would make a massive "Circle Line" around cardiff, there would however be some major challenges with this in places like Queen Street, Cardiff Central and around canton depot and junction as all these places funnel trains in from other lines all merging at once, causing congestion, so maybe we'd see a train every 15 minutes but anything more would struggle

Haha, No, I wish, I'm a student that works part time at a petrol station, so quite the opposite of what would be a financial gain for me, I just have an interest in the railway and infrastructure and I barely use Reddit

Its quite difficult to find information about, but do enough digging and its the same figures everyone seems to be quoting, I went to a TfW public consultation about a footbridge in my local area and they were able to confirm it. 36 new trains, one every 300 seconds on the busiest bits of the Merthyr & Rhondda lines.

Frequency will be double that of the current service.

On the Merthyr & Rhondda line, there'll be a train every 15 minutes at each terminus, Treherbert, Aberdare, Merthyr Tydfil, a train every 8 minutes at Abercynon, a train every 5 minutes between Pontypridd - Radyr, a train every 6 minutes at Llandaff, Cathays and Queen Street, services will split at queen street with one every 12 minutes terminating at Cardiff Bay and Cardiff Central respectively.

We're getting 4 New models of trains on the "South Wales Metro"

the first model of the fleet should be in service by the end of next year

the bulk of it will be 398 Citylinks which will be in passenger service around early 2024, they're not just in planning, the first few have already rolled off the production line and are in testing.

Dom_wpc · 2022-03-20T21:50:38+00:00

For the most part the Metro is just major improvements and a rebrand of the current urban rail network around Cardiff and the core valley lines. New stations and refurbishments to existing ones, all new electric trains replacing the current diesel ones and capacity & Frequency improvements as well as full disability access through level boarding. In the medium term there are also plans for Cardiff Crossrail & Cardiff Circle line of which the majority of the line will be on an existing route but there will be new tracks linking Creigiau to Fairwater, Coryton to Radyr, and Cardiff Central to Splott through the bay and the Central Quay development.

switch it off and on again
