Friday 6th November 2026

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she made of the potential impact of the construction of new railway stations at (a) Cardiff Parkway and (b) Newport West on (i) economic growth, (ii) employment, (iii) productivity and (iv) congestion.

Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The government is committed to improving rail connectivity and supporting growth, jobs, and housing across South East Wales.

Alongside Newport West, the station will improve access to employment, strengthen connectivity, and provide attractive alternatives to car travel along the congested M4 corridor.
