The new Bow Street interchange I find it very convenient as it is just a short drive from my house, but generally, the current lack of use does cause one to question the expenditure on the development. Maybe usage will increase when normality returns after covid.

On Bow Street station platform Over an hour until the next train. The hourly service on the Aberystwyth line, promised by Transport for Wales when it gained the franchise and due to start this year, has now been delayed until 2024. It would appear that TFW has not explained the change.
