Transport for Wales and Ramblers Cymru launch a collaboration project to get more people using public transport to access local walking routes. 

‘Train, talk, walk’ will encourage people to use local train services to access new family friendly walking routes that are being created by Ramblers Cymru, that start and finish from local stations.

In total, 20 walking routes will be developed at five stations in south Wales, and 15 in north Wales.

To coincide with these walks and Visit Wales’s Year of the Trails, the partnership project will also deliver a series of introductory guided walks throughout Wales, starting in April.

Hugh Evans, Head of Community Rail at Transport for Wales said: “We’re really excited to launch this partnership project with Ramblers Cymru and it’s simply about encouraging more people to become more active and use their public transport network to gain access to local walking routes.

“It’s important that people are aware that there are many relatively easy walks that can be reached by a simple train journey and chance to get some exercise, visit a new area, and improve their wellbeing.”
