PART TWO: The WORST rail contract? | Failed Franchises #26: Arriva Trains Wales

Описание: Hello & welcome to the twenty-sixth episode of my Failed Franchises series. In this series I look at train companies that no longer operate and determine whether they should be viewed as a failure or not! Today is the third episode of my Welsh operators mini-series where I look at the operators in Wales. We are looking at the first 15 years of Arriva Trains Wales operations in this second part of my two-part remastered episode covering the former company!

Part one (   • Arriva Trains Wales - The most Overcrowded...  ) and Part two are remasters of an older video I made on the company with more information and an overall better watch.

Thanks for watching - do consider liking and subscribing for more content :D
