Brief: CrossCountry’s Three Nations Connect service sees one daily departure between the Welsh and Scottish capitals via the Severn estuary, acting in place of the usual hourly Cardiff to Nottingham trains. Drive the first leg of this journey to Birmingham; calling at Newport, Chepstow. Gloucester, Cheltenham Spa, Worcestershire Parkway and University. Your powerful Voyager should have no problem keeping to slowly accelerating Turbostar timetables.
