Comment: Prime Minister announcement on electrification of the North Wales Main Line
4 October 2023
Reacting to today’s announcement on the electrification of the North Wales Main Line, Welsh Affairs Committee chair, Rt Hon Stephen Crabb MP, said:
“The Prime Minister’s announcement today of a £1 billion cash injection for the electrification of the North Wales Main Line is very welcome. Two years ago our Committee reported that experiences of passengers across Wales would be greatly improved by more investment in Welsh rail infrastructure, and that electrification would help meet our decarbonisation goals. It is critical that the UK and Welsh Governments work together on this important – and long overdue – project to electrify the North Wales Main Line. I look forward to hearing more from the Government on the timescale as to when work will begin and when the electrification of the line will be completed.”
