People in Wales have criticised the "incompetence" of Transport for Wales, after a picture was shared of a packed two-carriage train heading from north Wales to Cardiff for a Nations League match. The train service was branded a "disgrace" by football fans, who questioned why Transport for Wales provided just two carriages for some services to the Welsh capital on Saturday ahead of Wales' 1-1 draw with Belgium at the Cardiff City Stadium.
It comes after heavy criticism of the train service for Ed Sheeran's recent gigs in Cardiff. One Wales fan, Wayne Jones, shared a picture of an overc two-carriage train which was "already full" shortly after 11am when it reached Bangor. In an update at 12.46pm, he posted another picture with the tweet: "Gets better... direct train to Cardiff now terminated at Wrexham. Hundreds waiting for another two carriages. Disgusting!"
Wayne's posts have sparked well over 1,000 online reactions, including from Lesley Griffiths — the Welsh Government minister for north Wales — who branded the situation “unacceptable” and tagged Transport for Wales in her tweet. The majority of WalesOnline readers who commented under our post about the story Facebook commenters also condemned the scenes on the train and called for improvements.
