How often do the buses tun from high street to Morfa. Also the same question for the return journey especially for night games? I suppose it is also added expenditure but of course people will want to go in to the Centre as opposed to the Morfa area but it does add a choice. | |

Personally, I've never been able to get on a bus after the match, and always have had to walk back. Trains have capacity so surely this is excellent news, what are the negatives? | |

I agree, if it ever gets off the ground. This is just a sweetener as the new rail franchise offers the square root of eff all for areas outside of Cardiff. All the rest of us get are some newer trains and the stations having a 'deep clean'. There is still no proposals for a N S link and we we still have to use that well known Welsh railway hub, Shrewsbury, to get around Wales. | |

Agree, Landore station needs to get investment and re-open. Agree, where have our AM's been for the last ten years? Unfortunately, some of these AM,s look fine in following up local 'community council' type issues but they look out of their depth in their efforts to secure major investment in infrastructure and city regeneration. | | | |

I walked up to Lib from station a few times and into town from Lib its not a bad walk, night games are different though, granted. | |

‘First’ puts busses on don’t they? Opposite the ground after night games. | |

Landore train station in Swansea is being considered for reopening, again? on 21:30 - Jun 7 with 3741 views | westside | No brainer to open Landore station. People living in landore, hafod, brynhfyrd, plasmarl, copper quarter etc could use it daily. Regeneration of the Lower Swansea Valley with lots of stuff like Liberty stadium, Morfa Shopping park, copperworks, brewery, cable car, etc Trains run in two directions so it's not just about getting into Swansea. | | | |

No need for this to be an issue if we followed the Brighton example. Yes the station was crowded after the game, but they got thousands away quickly in both directions, remember public transport is free there on match days. | | | |

Nail on head. I urge people just to check our the Twitter feeds of our 3 Local AMs. They spend most of their time attending functions that could easily be dealt with by Local Councillors. Swansea has received kick after kick in the nuts yet you hardly get any comment. Dai Lloyd is one of the few to stand up and be counted. I include all Parties in this. [Post edited 8 Jun 2018 13:17]

Absolutely rubbish. Of course it is needed. Direct trains to Swansea Landore would be brilliant for the likes of myself. Gowerton to Landore would take roughly 7 minutes, depending on whether Cockett reopened too. From the Western region trains could be direct. Half an hour can be wasted going all the way into Swansea High Street and getting back to the ground. Would be fab from the East too. Supporters could change at Port Talbot or Neath for a direct service to Landore. Without the need to go into Swansea and also waste time coming back on yourself. I would operate a about 4 services of special services on matchday between say... Eastern Service Llanelli - Gowerton - Cockett - Landore - Neath - Port Talbot (Train comes back from Port Talbot, calling at... Western Service - Port Talbot - Baglan - Briton Ferry - Neath - Skewen - Llansamlet - Landore - Llanelli. Even a special service from Camarthen to Bridgend Camarthen, Ferry Side, Kidwelly, Pembrey, Burry Port, Llanelli, Gowerton, Cockett(?), Landore Bridgend - Pontyclun - Pyle - Port Talbot - Neath, Baglan - Briton Ferry - Skewen - Llansamlet - Landore And specials from West Wales Pembroke Dock, etc... | |
