The UK Railways Bill going through the House of Commons today does nothing to address the decades of underfunding of Welsh railways.
Plaid Cymru is clear: Welsh rail should be in Welsh hands.
It’s time to end this injustice and devolve rail to Wales.

Plaid Cymru acted to protect services, to stop sky-high council tax bill rises, support our NHS and to make sure the next Welsh Government is on a more sustainable position after the election next year.
It's time for new leadership in 2026 with a Plaid Cymru Government.

Stood at Cwrt Dafydd farm, south of Margam, where they were found reused to form a footbridge across a stream. They are known as 'cart-wheel' crosses, and so named from the radial form of the cross head, like the wheels of a cart. 10thC.

Two more photos of the 10th Century Maen Achwyfan (Achwyfan's Stone), as per my pervious post. No one seems to know who Achwyfan was. I've only just learnt its design suggests #Viking influence. If so they must have struck inland into #Flintshire and perhaps settled there.

The 17th century 'Brahan Seer' known in Scots Gaelic as Coinneach Odhar, could foresee future events by looking through an Adder Stone. Although some suggest he was the invention of folklorist Alexander Mackenzie.
