A man has slammed an "appalling" train journey home from what he described as a "hellish dystopia" of central Cardiff.
Author Mike Parker shared updates of his train journey from Cardiff Central Station to Caersws which took a full day. The same journey by car would take just two hours and twenty minutes.
As well as the disastrous journey he had on the Transport for Wales service on Friday, Mike had a lot to say about the "hellish dystopia" that is the landscape outside Cardiff Central station, the building itself he described as "beautiful". But it was the empty surroundings with "nothing there to lift the heart or gladden the soul", that left him the most disappointed.
