Estimated reading time 1 minute
The Prime Minister has formally endorsed the Transport for Wales (TfW) vision for the future of Welsh rail – agreeing that it should set the framework for their pipeline of projects and committing the UK Government to work with the Welsh Government to deliver this pipeline as quickly as possible.
This investment will see the further transformation of Wales’ rail network, building on the Welsh Government’s £1.1bn in upgrading and electrifying the Core Valley Lines and £800m investment in a new rail fleet.
Using the almost half a billion pounds promised this Spending Review, seven new stations are set to be built across Wales. These are:
- Magor and Undy
- Llanwern
- Cardiff East
- Newport West
- Somerton
- Cardiff Parkway
- Deeside industrial park
