Asked by: Lauren Sullivan (Labour - Gravesham)
Question to the Wales Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what recent discussions she has had with the Welsh Government on improving rail connectivity in Wales.
Answered by Nia Griffith - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Wales Office)
We are working with Welsh government on a range of shared priorities, which includes rail connectivity.
We are investing an historic £445 million into Welsh rail to right years’ of underfunding by previous governments and unleash Wales’ economic potential.
This will mean new stations, enable more and faster trains on the key lines across North and South Wales, connecting people with the new, well-paid jobs we’re creating across Wales.
