Regional Transport Plan

Something interesting inserted in the B&R this week - the TraCC Regional Transport Plan. TraCC apparently stands for Trafnidiaeth Canolbarth Cymru, and the area it covers is really quite large - down to Ystradgynlais in the south, Cardigan to Porthmadog along the Welsh coast, and up to Blaenau Ffestiniog in the north, and taking in Welshpool and Newtown and Knighton and Llandrindod Wells. I'm not sure from the map if Hay is included or not - it must be at least on the fringes.
The Welsh Assembly now has powers to plan and improve the transport system in Wales, and they want to improve bus services (hooray!), and rail services, and improve accessibility for tourism, with half an eye on the idea that car use needs to be reduced if possible to reduce carbon emissions. There's a questionnaire included.

I'll be watching with interest - I've been banging on for years about the need for an evening bus service between Brecon and Hereford. The local bus service is fine as far as it goes, but the last bus to Hereford is quarter to five in the afternoon at the moment, which is not helpful when I go off to re-enactments, and it can be difficult for my young man when he comes up from London to see me - the taxi fare from Hereford is about £40.
