For those interested in such things, I've been looking at the timetable to work out trains-per-day. Here is what it looks like for the stations on the Heart of Wales line, including Garth.

The stations are labeled in white with their CRS code and as orange circles, proportional but quite small to the number of services a day, as there are only about eight services here.

A map of mostly Wales showing the number of trains per day calling at stations on the Heart of Wales line. The land is in dark-green, sea in light blue and the stations are labeled in white with their CRS code and quite small, as there are only about eight services a day.

FWIW I did a talk at the Leeds Digital Festival a while back which is here youtu.be/xFLuUO3YBBE

All in #QGIS

For me, the GTFS is more an issue for British heavy rail, which is where I work. I'm trying to get some to support this but it is great for bus travel stuff.

Spending hours manually updating your Excel dashboards and reports? Copying, pasting, reformatting... 😩 It's tedious, time-consuming, and leaves room for error. What if your key visuals updated automatically when the source data changes?

Excel has a powerful, often overlooked feature perfect for this: the Camera Tool! 📸

It lets you create dynamic, linked visuals from different sheets onto one central summary page. 👉 youtu.be/25zHZOeBxyY
