Twelve new railway stations could be opened in Wales if the plans are judged to be viable. The 12 sites have been chosen from a list of 46 proposals for more detailed scrutiny.
Priority railway station proposals are: Cardiff: Ely Mill/Victoria Park, Newport Road/Rover Way and St Mellons; Newport: Llanwern; Swansea: Cockett and Landore; St Clears; Deeside Industrial Park/Northern Gateway; North Wrexham; South Wrexham; Llangefni; and Bow Street.
“The more costly work on producing detailed cost estimates for a new station and timetable modelling is only carried out on the highest priorities. The stage two assessment will look in more detail at the strength of the financial and economic case for a new railway station, including advice from Network Rail on deliverability,” Economy Secretary Ken Skates said.
