I don't get this fixation that the Old South Wales brigade have with BRS, that BRS is the root of all evil and were BRS not there then CWL's problems would be solved.
BRS is a pain in the butt to travel to/from S. Wales, I should know, I drove the crew transport route many a time, when from central Cardiff BHX is less than 2 hours away, dual carriageways all the way, and with a much better offering of services than Lulsgate Bottom offers.
