The government continues to support the Welsh government in progressing the procurement of the next Wales and Borders rail franchise and an infrastructure provider for the South Wales Metro.

Should the proposed transfer not take place, the Core Valley Lines infrastructure will continue to be owned and operated by Network Rail, as it is today.
