Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress his Department has made on plans for a new Swansea Parkway train station.

We are working with Transport for Wales, Welsh Government and local authorities to develop plans for better connectivity within South West Wales, including new station provision. The Government has established a Wales Rail Board with the Welsh Government, to develop a strategic programme and prioritisation for the future progression of rail schemes in Wales.
