Arriva Wales always seem to be transferring passengers between trains which are shown in the timetables as direct trains.

I wouldn't complain if a 175 turned up for a train I was using unless they were using the dodgy automated PA system. I'm use to 142s, 150s and ocassional 156s on Northern servies and 158s and 175s on Transpennines Express services so a 175 is better than what I'm used to.
