Pontypool and New Inn Station: Repairs and Maintenance
To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with Network Rail on the estimated completion date for works to Pontypool and New Inn station, and on the causes for the delay.

The Welsh Government has provided funding to Torfaen County Borough Council for the upgrade of Pontypool and New Inn railway station. Questions relating to the progress of these works should be addressed to Transport for Wales who are responsible for the operation of the station.

Old Oak Common Station: Construction
To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the Welsh Government on (1) Network Rail's planned works at Old Oak Common, and (2) the current performance of the Great Western Railway.

The Wales Rail Board meets regularly and facilitates the UK and Welsh governments to discuss matters of mutual interest. The Board discusses performance of the Great Western Main Line and plans to manage rail services during construction of the new station at Old Oak Common. I continue to work with HS2 Ltd, Network Rail and train operators to minimise disruption to passengers on the Great Western Main Line, both during the construction of the station and its operation.

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with Network Rail regarding their plans for Old Oak Common, including on the length of disruption to Great Western Railway services, and what estimate they have made of the cost of the project.

The new station at Old Oak Common will create an interchange between HS2 and national rail services. I continue to work with HS2 Ltd, Network Rail and all train operators to minimise disruption to passengers on the Great Western Main Line, both during the construction of the station and during its operation.
