Trains are always appalling in Wales. Cardiff couldn't organise a drink in a brewery in a polite way when it comes to the trains.
00:08
Always only two trains on, 300 people waiting at the station. Absolutely appalling infrastructure.
00:13
Needs a lot of work to be done on that.
00:15
Not too bad, not too bad. I travel back and forth to Cardiff nearly every day to take my boy to college.
00:21
And if you leave at the right time you're okay. If you leave at the wrong time you're a bit sticky in the mornings.
00:27
No problem. If everybody behaves themselves on the road we'd be all right. Everybody would be okay.
00:32
I find it quite easy to park around here. Free as well, if you find the places.
00:37
Usually Newport I usually hang about. I don't go to Newport, Cardiff.
00:41
I always go on the train if I go down there.
00:43
See I drive and the car parks are absolutely horrific.
00:46
Like I ran into town last week and it was really difficult trying to find a space.
00:50
All the car parks were full. So yeah, it's a nightmare.
00:53
The traffic makes it worse as well. It makes people not want to go out.
00:55
And they're just like, oh we'll go another day when it's quieter. But it's not going to get quieter.
