Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, with reference to the press release entitled Prime Minister announces seven new stations and major rail funding commitment, of 17 February 2026, what discussions she has had with the Welsh Government and Transport for Wales on risk and delivery responsibility for the seven new stations.

The Wales Rail Board has developed its long-term vision for rail enhancement investment in Wales, which was published last week by Transport for Wales as part of its document titled ‘Today, Tomorrow, Together: A Vision for Wales across Wales and Borders’.

The Wales Rail Board is an intergovernmental board that will oversee the delivery of this pipeline of projects. Its membership includes the Wales Office, Department for Transport, Network Rail, Welsh Government and Transport for Wales.
