Although it was through no fault of their own (this time), what is of upmost concern to this paper is that Arriva Trains did not have a contingency plan to deal with the problem.

Cardiff is the driving force of our economy and delays like today are going to have a serious implication on businesses.

Cardiff Capitals travel to face Swansea Storm this evening, with both teams chasing ambitions for top of the table finishes.

Cardiff are enjoying some good form in their first season in top flight Welsh basketball, after winning promotion to the South Wales Valleys Basketball Division One last year, but face dangerous opposition in Swansea.
