the South Wales ArgusPlan to speed up train journeys in Wales will benefit Gwent route
SPEEDING up journeys on rail routes across Wales - including between the Severn Tunnel and Cardiff - is a key aim of a major multi-million pound upgrading programme announced today.
More than £340m of UK▸ Government funding is intended to help deliver better journeys for passengers, said UK Government transport secretary Grant Shapps.
Funding of £5.8m has been made available for designing an upgrade of Cardiff Central station, and there are also plans for cutting-edge digital signalling on the Cambrian line, and speeding up journeys between Cardiff and Swansea.
Almost £2m has been made available for the next phase of development work on speeding up journeys between a number of locations, the Severn Tunnel and Cardiff, through better aligned tracks and exploring putting additional services on the lines.
I thought there was cutting edge signalling on the Cambrian Line already? Only a small part of the £340m seems spoken for in the list of projects ... perhaps this will become clearer as we see more coverage?
