16 For South Wales Metro

17 What is Metro Phase 2? Heavy rail Bus Light rail Active travel Interchanges

18 What is Metro Phase 2? South Wales Metro includes the full set of local services around South East Wales: This includes what is currently known as the Valley Lines, plus services between Cardiff and Ebbw Vale, Maesteg and extending to Severn Tunnel Junction and beyond Central Metro refers to the: Sub-set of the South Wales Metro train services which run from Treherbert, Aberdare, Merthyr Tydfil, Radyr, Rhymney and Coryton, through Queen Street to Cardiff Bay, Cardiff Central, Penarth, Barry Island and Bridgend. This solution avoids the need to change trains to cross Cardiff and integrates the City Line, Penarth, Barry Island and Bridgend with the portions of the Valley Lines which transfer from NR.

19 Current service Central Metro area Weekday peak and off peak service pattern Key features Trains to Bridgend originate at Merthyr but trains from Bridgend run to Aberdare Some exceptions to the pattern to facilitate freight and peak strengthening of services Services are linked across Cardiff to minimise reversing moves at Central and Queen Street Treherbert Bridgend 1 2 Pontypridd City Line VoG 2 2 Radyr Rhoose Aberdare Cathays Central Grangetown Barry 3 6 Abercynon Merthyr 2 Coryton 2 Barry Island 4 Penarth Heath Queen St 5 Caerphilly Cardiff Bay Key Rhymney Ystrad M Trains per hour Bargoed

20 December 2023 solution for Central Metro Monday to Saturday all day service pattern Customer Impacts Maintains all existing connections to Queen Street and Central Service pattern easy to understand Most frequencies even in the hour clockface (e.g past) Notes VoG, Barry, Penarth and City Line integrated into Central Metro solution 2tph from Pontypridd divert via City Line but don t terminate at Central i.e. Aberdare City Line Central Merthyr Bridgend 2 Treherbert 4 Pontypridd City Line 2 4 Rhoose Radyr Merthyr Tydfil Aberdare Barry Cathays Central Abercynon 12 4 Coryton 4 2 Penarth Barry Island Heath Queen St 6 6 Cardiff Bay Caerphilly 18 Key Rhymney 4 Key Trains per hour = 2tph (MV) = 2tph (Tri) = 3tph (Tri) = 4tph (Tri) = 5tph (Tri) 4

21 December 2023 solution for Central Metro Monday to Saturday all day service pattern Customer Impacts Doubling of frequency for Treherbert, Aberdare and Merthyr Tydfil An additional 3tph running to and from Rhymney An additional service every hour on the Vale of Glamorgan Notes Two of four services per hour from Treherbert, Aberdare and Merthyr Tydfil will run directly to Cardiff Bay, removing the need for passengers on these lines to change trains For Dec 2024, Bay line extended to Cardiff Bay and new station opened at Loudoun Square Bridgend Treherbert Pontypridd City Line Rhoose +2 Radyr Merthyr Tydfil Aberdare Barry Cathays Central Abercynon +6 Coryton +2 Penarth Barry Island +1 Heath Queen St Cardiff Bay Caerphilly Rhymney Ystrad Mynach Key Bargoed Key Increase in trains per hour +2 = 2tph (MV) = 2tph (Tri) = 3tph (Tri) = 4tph (Tri) = 5tph (Tri)

22 What this means for passengers A really big change in frequency, journey time and capacity

23 Journey Trains per hour now 2023 Trains per hour Journey time now (mins) 2023 Journey time (mins) 2019 AM peak capacity 2023 AM peak capacity % change Treherbert > Queen St % Aberdare > Queen St % Merthyr Tydfil > Queen St % Treherbert > Bay (inc. change) 50 (direct) Aberdare > Bay (inc. change) 47 (direct) Merthyr Tydfil > Bay (inc. change) 48 (direct) Pontypridd > Queen St % Rhymney > Central % Caerphilly > Central % Coryton > Central (extra stop) % Penarth > Central % Barry > Central %
