Fury as trains ‘upgraded' at cost of £1billion have NO toilets on board in move slammed as ‘absolute madness'
COMMUTERS fear being caught short in a £1billion rail upgrade which includes trains with no toilets.
The electric tram-trains will be brought in as part of 'improvements' in South Wales.

But one passenger said it was 'absolute madness' that the carriages will be without loos.
Rail staff admitted they were 'dreading' the likely problems with the elderly, children, disabled people and drunks.
The Welsh Labour government says the new South Wales Metro project will 'provide better transport options'.
Passengers needing the loo will have to get off at a station.
One commuter said it was 'absolute madness', adding: 'We certainly are going backwards in Wales!'
Another added: 'No public toilets at the vast majority of stations either.
'I regularly travel from Cardiff to Merthyr and also Aberdare. Both big towns and not a toilet in sight.'
One shocked commenter added: 'I have a funny feeling there's going to be lots of urine on the floor on a Friday and Saturday night.'
Transport for Wales said on-board toilets would 'significantly reduce capacity' and that passengers would always be within a 20-minute journey of a loo.

One of the UK's best campsites has safari lodges, pet pigs and secret waterfalls
Alice Penwill, Travel Reporter Published: Invalid Date, THERE are thousands of campsites in the UK, but Top of the Woods in Pembrokeshire has been named one of the best. The site in Wales took the top spot when Time Out put together a list of the best campsites in the country. 5 Top of the Woods is described as a "nature retreat across 27 acres nestled by the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, surrounded by 325 acres of ancient & conifer Welsh woodlands, waterfalls, and close to wild beaches." The campsite inspires campers to get back to nature with eco-friendly accommodation. On offer are Safari Lodges, Nature Domes, or unique Pioneer Camps. Each of the glamping options includes self-catering amenities, cosy wood burners, BBQ and fire pits which are perfect for sitting by during the sunset. It's not just a camp site - there's also lots of activities like the 'Vintage Barn Cinema'. The Banquet Barn has been transformed into a barn cinema, with straw bale seating. It shows classic, family favourite films as well as the occasional more grown-up films every Saturday and Wednesday at 6pm and 8pm - which is entirely free for guests. There's also summer yoga classes so guests can start off their camping holidays calmly and well-stretched. Across the site there is table tennis, basketball, badminton, and a games meadow for the kids run around and play some football. There are also board games that can be taken away and played by campers throughout the day. The beachfront Croatian campsite set fo multi-million revamp 5 5 For anyone wanting to venture outside of the campsite, there's also a guide to a secret waterfall trail - which is a five mile round-trip. There's lots of wildlife around the campsite from owls to to woodpeckers and bats. But the campsite owners also have a family of pigs, two dogs and a Norwegian cat - all of whom like a bit of fuss according to the website. It's not just for family holidays either, the campsite also offers retreats for workplaces. It says "mix and match our indoor and outdoor spaces for work, presentations, networking, feasting, wellbeing activities and socials. "Digitally detox round the campfire - while benefiting from fast wifi in the work areas." The cheapest stay is if you bring your own tent and pitch it in the meadows which per adult is £16 per night. There's also a jumbo pitch option which can accommodate two tents for £15 per night. Here are the UK's best campsites that have 10/10 reviews. And the . 5

Unloved house next to Eryri National Park in Wales is going to auction: Could it be YOUR perfect project?
Few homeowners can boast a wood at the back of their house and views overlooking the Eryri National Park, also known as Snowdonia, at the front. But this is precisely what Craig y Nos in Llanberis, Wales, has on offer for a nature-loving buyer. The detached property and 2.9 acres of woodland is going up for auction via Auction House between 23 and 25 June. Craig y Nos has been owned by the same family for generations and has an auction guide price of £200,000, excluding fees. The Welsh stone house has decades of history and is now empty and ready for a new owner. The front of the property is picture-postcard ready and adorned with mature trees, shrubs and flowers. Both the front and back garden will require work and need to be cleared, tidied up and rejuvenated by the new owner. The cost of getting such work done should not be underestimated. At the back of the property there is a stone outbuilding, which could be removed or potentially turned into a livable space or storage room. As a project property, the house offers a blank canvas for a new buyer to reconfigure the space and bring it up to scratch, while maintaining the attractive period features. Though they will need replacing, the windows of the property are generously sized for a period home, ensuring each room has charming views of the surrounding countryside. Each room in the property will need to be worked on from top to bottom and none of the appliances or fittings have been tested. Downstairs there is a reception room, two living rooms and a small kitchen. Upstairs, there are currently three bedrooms, a compact office or storage space and a bathroom. Inside the main house, the property spans approximately 1,022 making it more generous than many period cottages. Daniel Lawrence, area manager for Auction House North Wales & Cheshire, told This is Money: 'After having been in the same family for several generations, this really is a rare opportunity for a nature-lover to snap up a unique home in a hugely popular location. 'Based just outside the village of Llanberis, the gateway to the Eryri National Park, the future owner will be able to enjoy easy access to Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) as well as the charming cafes, restaurants and shops of the nearby village.' He added: 'The property itself is a blank canvas, giving the new owner the chance to put their own stamp on it and transform it into a truly extraordinary family home with fantastic access to the national park.' How to buy at auction Auctions are one area where good deals still come up. Properties sold this way can, in some cases, be substantially cheaper than on the open market. According to Property Auction News, the average price properties sell at auction for is around £166,000. However, properties sold in this way often - though not always - come with added complexities for the buyer. It is therefore important to do as much research as possible before buying any property at auction. Where possible, always visit the property in person before the auction. Do not underestimate how much renovation work or reconfigurations could cost if you are taking on a project property. If a garden is heavily overgrown, do factor in that getting it cleared could potentially cost thousands of pounds if the work is undertaken by professionals. Read legal documents for the property carefully and, when possible, get advice from a solicitor before heading to the auction. Sometimes, the legal pack includes 'special conditions' that mean you might also be liable to pay an additional three per cent fee to a sales agent. Before submitting any bids, always check what sort of price similar properties in the area have sold for. This will, of course, be harder if it is a more unusual property that you are after. If you do bid, do not get carried away and bid more than you can afford. Most properties bought via auction have a 28-day competition date and home loans for auction properties can be harder to get. How to find a new mortgage Borrowers who need a mortgage because their current fixed rate deal is ending, or they are buying a home, should explore their options as soon as possible. Buy-to-let landlords should also act as soon as they can. Quick mortgage finder links with This is Money's partner L&C > Mortgage rates calculator > Find the right mortgage for you What if I need to remortgage? Borrowers should compare rates, speak to a mortgage broker and be prepared to act. Homeowners can lock in to a new deal six to nine months in advance, often with no obligation to take it. Most mortgage deals allow fees to be added to the loan and only be charged when it is taken out. This means borrowers can secure a rate without paying expensive arrangement fees. Keep in mind that by doing this and not clearing the fee on completion, interest will be paid on the fee amount over the entire term of the loan, so this may not be the best option for everyone. What if I am buying a home? Those with home purchases agreed should also aim to secure rates as soon as possible, so they know exactly what their monthly payments will be. Buyers should avoid overstretching and be aware that house prices may fall, as higher mortgage rates limit people's borrowing ability and buying power. What about buy-to-let landlords Buy-to-let landlords with interest-only mortgages will see a greater jump in monthly costs than homeowners on residential mortgages. This makes remortgaging in plenty of time essential and our partner L&C can help with buy-to-let mortgages too. How to compare mortgage costs The best way to compare mortgage costs and find the right deal for you is to speak to a broker. This is Money has a long-standing partnership with fee-free broker L&C, to provide you with fee-free expert mortgage advice. Interested in seeing today's best mortgage rates?

Barry Rail Depot Restored in Transport Upgrade
Passenger train drivers are once again based in Barry for the first time since the 1990s after work was completed on the depot there. The move sees the number of people working at the depot rise to 58. Transport for Wales took over the rail depot there in 2022 and have been proceeding to develop it alongside partners in Network Rail. From the May timetable change on 18 May, 39 drivers will now be based there alongside depot colleagues, cleaners and train crew managers. Most of the Class 756 and Class 231 fleets will be stabled there to serve the lines between Rhymney and Barry Island, as well as the Treherbert, Merthyr and Aberdare lines (until the Class 398 fleet enter service). Heavy maintenance and fuelling will continue to take place at Canton Depot in Cardiff. Depot Manager Alun Davies said: 'This is transformational for people and the area and is testament to the hard work of so many to make it happen. 'It's incredible to have the drivers coming back here. 'When we took the depot on it required a major clean up operation. We took a really joined up approach to it, putting safety and sustainability at the forefront, as well as looking ahead and planning for the future.' As part of the work a safe walking route has been installed between Barry town railway station and the depot. A sustainable well-being garden has also been created for staff and visitors, which also helps to support biodiversity around the depot. Barry depot had been built in the 1890s as part of the developments of the docks and railway. However it closed as a driver depot in the 1980s as British Rail looked to reorganise ahead of privatisation in the early 1990s. EWS had drivers based there until 1999. Prior to TFW takeover, John Buxton, Director of Cambrian Transport, operated out of the site since 2009. The depot, garden and crossing were officially opened to drivers at a special event where MS Jane Hutt, Vale of Glamorgan Council Leader Lis Burnett and several other key local stakeholders were given a tour of the depot.
