Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to Transport for Wales' document entitled Today, Tomorrow, Together: A vision for rail across Wales and Borders, published on 18 February 2026, what proportion of the funding set out in that document for rail schemes has her Department guaranteed to date.

The UK Government’s 2025 Spending Review and Infrastructure Strategy recognised Wales’s long-term infrastructure needs, and committed at least £445 million of rail enhancements to realise them.

This is in addition to the £2.5 billion operations, maintenance, and renewal (OMR) investment in Wales over railway Control Period 7 (April 2024 - March 2029).

This investment will reconnect Wales’s industrial heartlands, improve commuter journeys, and drive economic growth in communities that have long suffered from poor transport links. It will provide for increased service levels on the Wrexham to Liverpool line, increased service frequencies in the Cardiff area, delivery of new stations and services in South Wales, and a major upgrade to Cardiff Central Station.
