Hi Dai.Its not only 1873 for the problem in how to get to Aberystwyth?There has been a lot of talk lately on how to get there NOW? As I don't think the Railway Line goes there anymore does it? There has also been talk in shifting the National Library of Wales to somewhere else,as its such an out of the way place to get to. As for Travelling in 1873,There was only the Railways for High Speed Travel. Higher than what a Horse Travelled at that is,or "Shanks Pony". Cheers,Graham. -- Graham Williams.of Canton,Cardiff.

Dai Trains still go to Aberystwyth have a look at: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/tocs_maps/maps/OfficialNationalRailmapsmall.pd f Wonder who is talking about moving the National Library? - you must be talking with someone from Cardiff!

I imagine that you wrote this tongue in cheek, Dai because as you should be aware the rail link from Aberystwyth not only still exists but is at last being improved in that an hourly service is being introduced and the only thing holding up the re-instatement of a direct service to London is the objection about unfair competition from a rival company in England. There is of course no question of moving the National Library which has only just had a multi-million face lift. Of course we would all like better north-south road and rail links but that's something which the apology for a National Assembly need so look at instead of wasting money on a recently completed £18 million + building here in Aberystwyth. Finally our university is rated right at the top for student satisfaction which is understandable as it's far and away the best in Wales.
