P-04-459 A direct rail connection from Cardiff Airport to Cardiff central and west Wales
Petition wording:
We call on the National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh
Government develop a direct rail connection from Cardiff Airport
itself to Cardiff central and west Wales.
There is a substantial need for a fast direct rail route straight
from the actual Cardiff International Airport itself directly into
Cardiff Central train station (and westwards to west Wales) so that
national and international visitors are properly serviced and
catered for at our National Airport. There is already a railway
stop at Rhoose which is less than a mile away from the airport. It
is a wasted opportunity not to extend this line to Cardiff
International Airport itself so that travellers from all over the
world,straight from their flight, can jump straight on to a train
that takes them to the capital city of Wales and beyond.
