Effort is being made \u2014 oh, my God, is effort being made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Effort clearly is being made, but this is however not a permanent solution to the problem, and the spokesperson told <em>Gair Rhydd<\/em> that \u201cWe will review how the arrangement works over the next couple of weeks before deciding whether to continue with it, make further adjustments or return to the previous queueing method\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Thus it may not be the end of the queuing nightmare for Cardiff students, and it remains to be seen of the changes will make the queue safer and more endurable for the many students attending each week, or if it will encourage more students to come who have been put off by the queue in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Image credit: Owaindyfed via Wikimedia Commons<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is a recognisable site to many, the long and arduous queue along Park Place on a Wednesday night.
