Just a quick note to say that we have added a new feature...
It may not be of great interest to all of you, but we hope it'll be of interest to some - and if it does turn out to be a good feature, we can always improve it further!

We have added a Game Section which allows members to play some old school games and verse other members in the community.
You need to have Flash Player for these games to work, so it's unlikely that you'll be able to join in on the fun if you're not on a computer.

May be worth us trying to host tournaments etc in the "Competition" section of the forum if the game section sparks enough interest?

News, debate and discussion on Wales' Bus Operations.

It is with regret we propose that Arriva Buses Wales’ Aberystwyth depot, New Quay, Lampeter and Dolgellau outstations will close on the 21 December 2013, subject to a consultation period with staff.

The period of instability regarding public transport funding and potential forthcoming changes to the Concessionary Fares Scheme, together with spiralling fuel costs has resulted in an unsustainable financial pressure on our Aberystwyth operations. A recent network review has led us to believe that current services in this area cannot, despite our best efforts, continue.

Services 20, 40, 40C, 50, 585 and X94 would be affected by the closure, with the proposed last day of operation being 21 December 2013. Due to contractual arrangements service 585 would continue to operate until 15 February 2014. We have notified the local authority of our intentions.

The proposed closure may unfortunately result in staff losses, and we are currently in consultation with the 46 staff who would be affected.

What was your favorite cartoon when you were a kid.

Mine had to be Pokemon, i was recently tiding under my bed again and found my Pokemon cards and my game boy colour and all my Pokemon games.

I stopped watching it after the Johto league although i recently found out that:

Ash is still 10... haha

Their are now at least 680 Pokemon - (Remember when their was only 150)

Season 17 will start on the 19th October in the USA and he will now travel to a Kalos region

He's currently traveling with Iris (A dragon Trainer) and Cilan - hes role is like Brock.. cook etc

Ash will travel with a random bunch the name's of Serena, Clemont, Bonnie from the new XY series soon.

Ash has to use hes Pokedex to see what a Caterpie etc is (the first 150 Pokemon), didn't he have 1 in the first season, which he released as a Butterfree. - such a shame that he has to do that, when he know's what it is
