Question to the Wales Office:
What recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Transport on cross-border rail services on the Great Western Railway line.
I am due to meet the Secretary of State for Transport in the next few weeks. We will discuss how we build upon the additional 15,000 weekday seats between South Wales and London and the new SuperFast services, which have brought the journey time between Cardiff and Paddington down to 1 hour 42 minutes, saving 17 minutes on the previous fastest times.
