Not my travel note, but Bev and Philly’s. They went down from Ebbw Vale to Cardiff by train to watch the Wales v South Africa game. So far so good. But when the arrived back at Cardiff Central to board for the return journey, they found that the train goes from Platform 0.A bit like Platform 9¾ in the Harry Potter books, it’s a bit make believe to think that someone on crutches can manage the 20-odd steps to the platform. There’s no disabled access to Platform 0, which is a makeshift platform used as an overflow.
Eventually the train managers realised the cock-up (which allegedly will be fixed when Cardiff Central gets a makeover in the next couple of years) and Bev and Philly were given a voucher for a taxi ride home instead.
