Is it now time for the club to seriously look at putting a small railway station near the ground. Several times since we've been at the liberty I have walked from high street and got bloody soaked. I would use this for every game and obviously there are others that would, the infrastructure is there and I believe it would cost around £1 million. Anyone else think this should happen?

Even better as there's plenty of empty land there, all we need then is the club to buy the social club and start earning cash pre match |
There would be no need to buy the social club, the railway has road access to the railway behind the club. Parking wouldn't be allowed but it's not required either. |  | | |

The figure quoted at a recent ( 2012), swansea transport forum was £5m, that seemed to me to be extreme, but i,ve more experience in roads and motorways, so what do I know! |  |

It's on the South Wales Mainline, all trains go through it. Personally I don't think that the old Landore station would be the best solution if one were to be built. They would never allow a train to block up a junction while fans pour on and off. For me the real solution is Landore Social club. There is an old sidings which could be re-opened and accommodate scheduled trains on match days. |
Two posters who work in the railway business say its a non starter yet those posters who don't are full of brilliant ideas saying it can,amazing.
Here's one to throw in the pot what happens to the shiny new Landore halt if we were relegated to the Championship and god forbid to League 1,the need for a halt would diminish as gates drop,next thing we know a study into the viability of keeping the halt open and so on.
I am sure we all would like to see added transport links to the Liberty,rail just won't be one of them. |  | | |

Sadly the club have done very little at the liberty in nearly 8 years, one of their few failings along with poor customer service they have made. No vision when it comes to growth, too inward looking and parochial.
I for one have heard enough of expansion plans, extra seats etc. They are making themselves look silly on this subject. Lost a real opportunity had they been braver a few years back. Fourth season in the PL, it just shows how bad they have handled this.
As for a train station? That would drive Huw over the edge if he had to make a decision on that or even be involved in it. [Post edited 2 May 2014 20:58]

Who says I don't work in the rail industry? These posters that do could be brushing the floors for all you know, I certainly find it extremely unlikely anyone working locally will have any realistic idea regarding costs and ANYTHING is possible where there's the demand. You carry on though, happy for 10 times more money to be spunked away on bypasses and the like |  |

I've had the same brush for 14 years, it has only had 4 new handles and 7 new heads. | | | |

No offence to those that work on the railway, but big f*cking deal. Are you telling me you have to work on a railway to know anything about their construction?
If they can build a poxy little station, at a backwater such as Baglan, which is on the main line from Swansea to Paddington, they can build one in Landore.
How much has that poxy boulevard cost? |  |
