Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what stage in Network Rail's Governance for Railway Investment Projects planning process the plans to electrify the South Wales Valleys line have reached.
The Secretary of State for Transport announced on 25 June 2015 that Great Western was a top priority for delivery. We are committed to electrifying the Great Western Swansea to Cardiff main line and are contributing £125mn to the Welsh Government’s Valley Lines electrification scheme. The delivery of the Welsh Valley Line Electrification scheme is a matter for the Welsh Government.
