In financial year 2024/2025, £259m was allocated for railways in Wales, which includes UK Government funded expenditure on operations, maintenance, renewal and enhancements. This is being built on through the Spending Review settlement, which marks a significant step forward in addressing Wales’s long term infrastructure needs, with a commitment of at least £445m over the next ten years for rail enhancements in Wales. Details of funding spent since July 2024 is not available at the current time.
