P-04-614 Support the Arriva Trains Wales First Class Service
It
is believed that Arriva Trains Wales will soon announce their intention to
cease the first class service which forms part of their flagship 'Premier
Service' which runs each weekday between Holyhead and Cardiff.
This
will likely be a response to the Welsh Government's decision to end their
funding for this service in early 2015.
This
petition urges the Welsh Government to reconsider their decision to withdraw
funding for this valuable and well-loved service, or to at least encourage
Arriva Trains Wales to continue the service as best they can via other means.
Additional Information
The
Arriva Trains Wales 'Premier Service' (also known as Y Gerallt Gymro, or
'Gerald of Wales', and now affectionately known as Gerald) is one of the few
fine dining experiences left on a scheduled rail service running on the British
railway network.
The
loss of this service would be a great shame, not only for passengers, but for
the staff and train crew who have worked so hard to make this train the well
regarded experience that it is.
