TFW have also not put in ticket acceptance on Cardiff Bus on the Coryton line even though its services is cut to 1tph from 2tph.

I have already questioned TFW regarding Penarth Service being reduced from 4tph to 1tph with NO Rail Replacement Bus or Cardiff Bus ticket acceptance.

When there is no rail service they always put on at least 2 buses an hour and ticket acceptance (M-F) with Cardiff Bus!!
