Thw Welsh Assembly Government will have to pay Arriva Trains Wales an undisclosed sum for a train service that won't be carrying passengers , it has been confirmed (link below.) http://www.rmtbristol.org.uk/2007/03/welsh_assembly_has_to_pay_rail.html#moreDelays in construction work on the reopening Cardiff-Ebbw Vale line means that trains will not be able to run from July as planned. It is likely that passengers will not be able to use the route until October. In the meantime , however , because of contractual obligations , the Assembly Government will have to pay the wages of staff who are being recruited to run the new line , which is seen as a vital tool in regenerating the economy of one of Wales' poorest areas. When the line between Cardiff and Ebbw Vale finally opens , it is intended to have hourly services in each direction. |
