A man who's walked more than 200 miles from Bangor to the Senedd in Cardiff will reach his destination soon. Elfed Wyn ap Elwyn is calling for a direct rail link between North and South Wales. Currently, travelling between Bangor and Cardiff means having to cross the border into England and change at Shrewsbury to complete the journey. The Gwynedd councilor told Sky News the government should be investing in public transport amid the ongoing row on the default 20mph limit in Wales. "With the developments on roads recently where the government is trying to get us to use more public transport, through 20mph and through the restriction of a number of a new project, that only works if there's investment within public transport too," he said. A Welsh government spokesperson said it was "committed to protecting potential travel corridors" along the country's west coast. The spokesperson added it was working with Transport for Wales on how transport links between North and South Wales could be strengthened.
