Advantages: regular service

Disadvantages: depressing

My car isn't the most reliable in the world and I dread the day that something goes wrong and I have to take the train to work.

I work in the Valleys and so in the event of car trouble, I have to get the Valley line. Even the platform that the Valley trains leave from seems drearier and more dpressing than the other platforms. There is always someone drunk slumped against a wall waiting, someone pushing a bent up old bike, someone rambling incoherently to themselves. Even the voiceover sounds suicidal as it reals out the names of all the many places the train will stop.

On the plus side, services are a lot more regular than they used to be making travel to and from the valleys a lot easier. Services are often delayed but I don't think we can blame the Valley Line for that, that's just train services in general right? Staff are friendly and helpful on this line too.

Summary: Not at all a bad way to get to the Valleys
