Going nowhere fast on this TFW Marches line train to Cardiff. Network Rail really needs to upgrade the route: a single track each way for the main north-south Wales artery is madness. Passengers stuck in limbo for more than an hour and counting. And TFW, this is poor: not even a hot drinks trolley

Last Friday we unveiled our 22nd Purple Plaque: for swimmer Irene Steer, the first Welsh woman to win an Olympic gold medal (1912, Stockholm). It would be another 96 years before the next one (Nicole Cooke, 2008). www.bbc.co.uk/news/article....
Her grandson showed me the medal!
