Absolutely wonderful news.

The comments from the hard of thinking on the Facebook share, on the other hand, make me shudder for the future.

What we have is a huge investment both in rail and tram infrastructure throughout South Yorkshire improving reliability, speeds, increasing electrification and providing an additional station for Rotherham where two lines come together (the obvious location for a railway interchange - see photo).

So what do those with the mental capacity of a hotdog sausage think?

🔸The station is in the wrong place. It should be in the town centre" (see stations : Rotherham station)
🔸 We've already got Masborough Station (which closed in 1987 when Rotherham Central opened)
🔸 The trams hardly get used (try finding a seat during rush hour on a tram, or when there's an event on at the arena, or even when there's a football match on)

It's the typical scenario with the UK to be honest. An improvement to a service is announced and all the people who never use the service chime in about what is there already is absolutely fine (despite them never using it) and how we should spend the money on the roads. Always roads.

Oh and keeping small boats out.

Make sure you stick a 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 at the end, just so we can all remember what our flags look like.

Oooh tram replacement bus. This should be slow and bumpy.

They dragged out the old bus stock I see.

Councillors back bold plan to explore Swansea Valley tram‑train link

Green Party councillor Nathan Goldup‑John brought the motion to a full council meeting on 17 December, urging officers to investigate a tram‑train route running from Aberdulais or Tonna into Swansea — with scope for future extensions deeper into the valleys.

‘Time to re‑imagine the Neath corridor’

Cllr Goldup‑John said the region needed to think big about transport, describing the Neath corridor as a “green, connected spine for south west Wales”.

He argued that an electrified tram‑train system could cut car dependency and reduce emissions, while also unlocking regeneration opportunities along the route.

The proposal, he said, would dovetail with the wider Swansea Bay Metro vision, creating a fast, low‑carbon link between valley communities and the city.

He added that new Metro‑style stations could connect directly with local bus routes, giving residents across the county borough far better access to reliable public transport.

Cross‑party support – with one caveat

Labour’s Cllr Sonia Reynolds said her group supported the motion but stressed it must not undermine the council’s push for bus franchising, due to roll out by 2027.

Council leader Cllr Steve Hunt also backed the proposal, while reassuring members that buses remain a top transport priority.

What happens next?

Councillors voted unanimously to support the motion. Officers will now prepare a report for cabinet before the end of the financial year, including options for commissioning a full feasibility study.

If progressed, the scheme could form a major new strand of the Swansea Bay Metro – and potentially reconnect valley communities with Swansea by rail for the first time in generations.

Bahnen, die im Straßen- und Eisenbahnverkehr fahren, gibt es übrigens schon länger – bekannt unter dem Namen #KarlsruherModell. Welche #Technologie dahinter steckt, hat #bwegt Mobilitäts-Checkerin #Silvi einmal für euch bei der #AVG erkundet:

Pictures of #Stadler #Tango vehicles, taken earlier this week along the western branch of the #Basel🇨🇭#BLT #TramTrain line 10, around #Ettingen. Dubbed “Bähnli” by the locals, this is actually an international service: about 5 kilometres down the line, the tram makes a stop at #Leymen in #Alsace 🇫🇷.

Endlich da 🚉💛! Die erste #TramTrain ist bei der Saarbahn in Saarbrücken eingetroffen!

Es ist die erste des Projekts "VDV-TramTrain", für das sich ganze 6 verschiedene Verkehrsverbünde aus Deutschland und Österreich zusammengeschlossen haben, um die nachhaltige Mobilität in der Region zu stärken 🤝. Hier ein visueller Eindruck, wie die Fahrzeuge in Zukunft aussehen:

@drnoble Yes, many people, including myself, have suggested that the #EdinburghSouthSub has good #TramTrain potential, but there seems to be a fixation that people want to go to the city centre, even though it would be a very useful orbital link between many significant trip destinations.

The large SUV fuel guzzlers need to be reined in and only sold to tradies or disabled users in cities. Too many used as status symbols by wanna-bee families.
