The locations proposed are not well served by rail or bus services. One train per hour in the case of locations outside Barry, approx 100 parking spaces or less at train stations and one bus or none per hour in many locations are not adequate to persuade people to change their main mode of transport from private vehicles.
Prior to any housing developments being approved the council should ensure public transport is sufficient in advance of planned population growth. Train frequencies outside of Barry need to increase substantially. Likewise bus frequencies need to increase substantially and bus routes need to be expanded. Parking at train stations also needs to be expanded. At present even if I wanted to travel into Cardiff from my home in Barry by public transport for example it is impractical and this is why the service is under utilised. Public transport improvements need to come before new development and population growth and show a sustained reliable period of operation with excess capacity before developments are approved.
