       Good transport routes between the north and south of Wales have 'never been possible', the First Minister has said.https://nation.cymru/news/good-transport-links-between-north-and-south-wales-never-been-possible-says-mark-drakeford/

       @NationCymru This is is the longer term answer:https://www.rhb.ch/There's so many reasons. Tourism, our reputation for narrow gauge railways, our terrain (much tighter corners and steeper gradients possible), the ability at metre gauge to integrate between street/tram and rail (great for the valleys & towns), the fact that existing infrastructure is so poor we might as well start from scratch (and dual gauge working is possible where existing track exists).Let's start now.

       @AngharadHafod @NationCymru reconnecting towns by reopening standard gauge lines would be a good start whether that is for trains or trams light Rail

       @Peteraf1 @NationCymru I think we need to be radical, if we're the going to get a decent Cymru-wide rail network.Plus, standard gauge doesn't work well for trams (cornering, hills, width).
