Air Show spokesman Amanda Butcher says "With the great British weather finally emerging this week, we are preparing for potentially the largest Air Show we've held over recent years and therefore encourage members of the public to exploit the extra services on offer from Arriva Trains Wales. We hope that the weather forecast stays in our favour and that everybody attending this year has a truly splendid family day out."

A regular user of the service, Gaynor Perry, 68, said: "They are numerous and repetitive and bilingual. I don't need to be told, in English and Welsh, that we are approaching my stop - Ash Grove - which, I have learned, is the same in English and Welsh."
