• Why Love the Train?

    Why do many people Love the Train? It could be one or more of the reasons listed below.

    Cost

    Also, when you book with us, all you pay for is the price of your ticket. We don't charge booking fees, credit card or debit card fees and no delivery fees (except next day delivery).

    Time
    Have you ever thought how many hours you've 'lost' by driving, where you could have:

    • Caught up with work whilst on the train.
    • Read a book or magazine.
    • Played a game or watched a film on your portable entertainment device like an iPod or Nintendo DS.
    • Used your mobile phone legally.
    • Had a good chat with your friend.
    • Or simply relaxed and enjoyed the scenic views on the Arriva Trains Wales network.  

    Convenience  

    • Toilet breaks whenever you like.
    • Someone else is doing the driving.
    • No need to worry about finding and paying car park space.

     

    Environment
    Do you love the environment? Help reduce the UK's carbon dioxide emissions and travel more by train. Did you know that:

    • Travelling by train is more energy efficient than travelling by road and has significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions per kilometre travelled*
    • Carbon dioxide emissions from rail are generally around two-thirds of car emissions (on a per passenger mile basis) and around one-eighth of heavy goods vehicle emissions (on a tonne of freight per mile basis).*
    • Rail has considerably less impact on air quality and noise levels than road or air transport*
    • Railway lines consume far less land than roads - four railway lines can fit into one three-lane motorway*

    Safety
    Travelling by train is still a far safer mode of transport than road: you are 9 times more likely to be killed travelling by car and 2.5 times more likely by air**.
