Railways: Wales

Question

What recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Transport on additional investment for Welsh railway infrastructure.

Answer

I have regular discussions with the Secretary of State for Transport on investment in railway infrastructure in Wales, most recently last week.

Network Rail’s proposed budget for investment in the Wales Route for 2019-24 is more than £1.5 billion. This is a record investment in Wales’ railways.
