THE first of 36 Transport for Wales (TfW) Class 398 tramtrains, for use on South Wales Metro services, was delivered by road to the new depot at Taff’s Well on March 21.
Their entry into service on the Treherbert, Aberdare, Merthyr and City routes, is due to take place next year after the completion of modernisation work on the Core Valley Lines, which includes the electrification of over 100 miles of track and the upgrading of stations and signalling.
