An additional daily train will be introduced on the Heart of #Wales line from 14 December. The new midday service, running in each direction between #Shrewsbury and #Swansea via #Llandrindod Wells, becomes the fifth service on the route and forms part of #Transport for Wales’ updated timetable. The line runs through towns including Llanelli, Llandeilo, Llandrindod and Knighton. Funding for the extra train was secured through the #Welsh Government’s Budget agreement with Welsh Liberal Democrats leader Jane Dodds. Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales Ken Skates said the service would benefit both tourists and rural communities, describing the route as a scenic link that is also essential for Mid Wales residents. He added that the Welsh Government’s £800m rail investment will introduce new trains connecting North and South Wales, supporting economic growth across the country.

I've just put a new video up on makertube.net - my first proper "Fix" video on a channel supposed to be about makes and fixes. It's of me fixing my son's Nintendo Switch Lite's power button.

It shows all the gory details and includes plenty of wittering by me ;-)
