Some good news from WalesOnline yesterday:
An express bus service running every 20 minutes almost round the clock between the city centre and Cardiff Airport is to launch next month, under new plans.
The Vale of Glamorgan council is inviting bus operators to bid to run the service, which comes four months after the Welsh Government’s £52m takeover of the Rhoose terminal.
It will be scheduled to run approximately every 20 minutes between 4am and midnight, 363 days a year, according to the contract notice.
The notice does not provide details on the exact route or the location of stops, but describes it as a “high profile, quality, limited stop, express local bus service”. […]
After some murmurings it appears this express bus is now confirmed. This looks like a sustainable good transport option which should make local travel more convenient for airport users.
Importantly for people who live in the Vale of Glamorgan it would also have no impact on Vale railway line services, which are already squeezed.
