Note.

1. No services will start at Radyr station.
2. No station will get a less frequent service.
3. There will be a doubling of services through Radyr station.
4. There will be level access between platform and vehicles at all stations.
5. If required the new vehicles can run in pairs to increase capacity.

I also suspect this is only the start and that capacity will be increased on some lines.
