Rail passengers travelling between South Wales, Bristol and London will benefit from more trains, quicker journeys and lower fares when a new “open-access” operator starts running from Carmarthen, Llanelli, Cardiff and Newport to Paddington station in the English capital.
Grand Union Trains will run five daily services each way in competition with the existing operator, Great Western Railway (GWR). The newly created rail firm will also be a rival for some Transport for Wales services.
