Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions he has had with representatives of Transport for Wales on the ability of inter-city services to use the planned St Mellons Parkway station in the east of Cardiff when completed.

We welcome this private sector led proposal for an additional station serving the South Wales area and look forward to receiving the full business case for the scheme.

We will work with the Welsh Government and Transport for Wales under the Welsh devolution arrangements on this scheme as it progresses.
