Welsh Government data has revealed that there were around 7,700 fewer services operating in Wales last month than the same time in 2020 before the pandemic. With the easing of Covid restrictions seeing many public settings, workplaces and events opening up to the people of Wales, train services have been plagued by overcrowding and delays in the last few months.
According to a YouGov poll in November of last year, people in Wales were the least likely to say their services were good with 41% in comparison to 51% in London and 44% in East of England. While 22% said that their local train services in Wales were bad.
Recent figures by Welsh Government, which shows the number of train services operated by Transport for Wales from when the company began operating services in October 2018 to March 2022, showed that 17,973 services operated in February this year in comparison to 25,736 in February, 2020.
