Pat Chay, an Aussie blogger, has written about a train ride through the suburbs of Brisbane. During the trip he travelled through Ebbw Vale train station. Let’s hope that trains will finally be running at our Ebbw Vale station some time soon. Worryingly, this official Blaenau Gwent Council hasn’t been updated since January, and despite this Assembly statement last year that says that the project will be complete by summer 2007, signs now point to the line not being used by passengers until December at the earliest.
Rugby Notes
With the start of the season almost upon us, Ebbw Vale has released its playing squad for 2007-08. Details are on the official website, as well as details of season tickets and the new online shop. Well, go on, check it out.
The WRU has published its promotion and relegation rules for the Premiership for the coming season. Of course, that doesn’t mean to say that they won’t try to change the rules half way through the year.
"The 14th placed Premier Division club will be relegated if the winner of the play-off between the Division 1 East and West champions had satisfied the Premier Division Criteria by 31 January, 2008. If only one of the Division 1 champions met the criteria by the deadline, the 14th Premier Division club will be relegated and only the Division 1 champion who met the criteria will be promoted. If any club in the Premier Division fails to meet the criteria by 31 January, 2008, they will drop to the bottom of the table for the final league placings for season 2007–2008."

I really hope they get the trains running soon - and for passengers. It'll be so much easier to get around, and hopefully cut down on traffic around the area.
