So here's your problem. Two adults with two kids living in Ty Canol. Add the bus fare to Cwmban and you are talking about £25 to £30 for a day out. However a bus can a be cheaper and can travel by a route which saves on travel time and is far less expensive.whoareya wrote: November 4th, 2021, 10:28 am Anytime return train fare to Newport:
Cwmbran - Child £2.50 Adult £5.10
Pontypool - Child £2.80 Adult £5.60
And a third off with a Railcard
Although the person who first thought through the idea of selling bamboo underpants (not our Colin), seems to be doing very nicely out of it...Stan A.

I think things through, which to answer another of your questions means that I have not considered selling bamboo underpants.

Quite so. Which is why if you want people who are unselfish to go green, that is take public transport and not use the convenience of their car then that transport must be inexpensive and convenient.whoareya wrote: November 4th, 2021, 12:29 pm
The chances of two adults with two children not having the use of a car is virtually nil, they would still travel by car as it is much more convenient for a family of four and is probably still cheaper than getting a subsidised bus that takes an hour to wind its way through Torfaen stopping every few hundred yards.
There's more chance of them buying bamboo underpants than dad, mam and the two kids choosing to take a bus for a family day out to watch league 2 football...........
Keep working on thinking things through....................
Quite so. 'The person who first thought through the idea' makes a fortune. Everyone else makes money for the person who first thought f it.Jonesy3 wrote: November 4th, 2021, 11:45 am

Trouble is that the station in Ponty is nowhere near where anyone lives. A bus from the Clarence would be better picking up in Cwmbran town centrewhoareya wrote: November 4th, 2021, 10:28 am Anytime return train fare to Newport:

So if you can't use public transport all the more reason for the club to examine at the very least, whether it is feasible to run football special busses.Victor Meldrew wrote: November 4th, 2021, 2:11 pm

Apart from that good luck in getting a bus back to Cwmbran, let alone Ty Canol, after an evening match.
Sorry Stan, but you have failed the due diligence test.

I don't think it's me that has failed due diligence. Probably because I take the time to read what people write. Rather than have a kneejerk reaction.
How is it a knee-jerk reaction when after taking the time to read that you "think things through" I was merely highlighting that on this occasion your knowledge of the facts was somewhat lacking. There are people better qualified than your good self to comment on local matters.Stan A.

I stayed for a few months in my late sister's house in Ty Canol. The point I was making, if you read my post was that it would be very difficult to travel to Rodney Parade via public transport. Hence the club, in my opinion, should look at running busses which would enable supporters who don't live close by to a railway station to get to games.Victor Meldrew wrote: November 4th, 2021, 6:26 pm
