On April 2nd and estimated 30k fans will be travelling from swansea to cardiff to watch their team in the LDV final which is being held in the Millenium Stadium. Network rail have taken the decision not to run trains on this day due to scheduled repair work leaving fans with no choice but to travel by coach or car. If all fans went up by coach up to 500 coaches would need to travel up the M4 at the same time causing congestion and travel trouble! With the government trying to promote public transport surely this would be the perfect opportunity! This petition is for the reversal of network rails decision

The volume of support has now reached a point that forces a formal response from Network Rail. I have requested a direct meeting with their planning department to present our logistical concerns regarding the M4 traffic impact. My next step involves drafting a briefing note for the transport minister to highlight the failure of current contingency planning.

Typical. They want us to use public transport but then shut the lines when we actually need them.

This is ridiculous. How can they plan engineering works on the biggest day of the year for football fans. Absolute madness.

TOTAL JOKE. 500 coaches on the road is just asking for a disaster.
