Title: Underinvestment in rail in Wales? Post by: grahame on September 28, 2024, 03:24:31 From The BBC (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj9jvndrnxgo)
Quote The Welsh economy is losing out because of a lack of rail investment, a transport expert has said. Prof Mark Barry said Wales should be getting a lot more money, but because spending was controlled from Whitehall, England was more of a priority. It's 39 YEARS since a station was last (re)opened in Wiltshire. When was the last (re)opening in Wales? What do the comparative pipelines look like? Title: Re: Underinvestment in rail in Wales?

There's a lot of investment that's is needed and should have been done in Wales some of which would have an effect on Bristol if the wires reach Swansea I know the swanline service was supposed to be increased to hourly and run to Bristol TM giving 3tph between the two cities I know TFW still want to run to Bristol TM using an extra batch of class 756s including a stop at Ashley down Title: Re: Underinvestment in rail in Wales?
