Guto Bebb said:

It is essential to deliver transport infrastructure in Wales which is fit for the 21st-century if we are to build on our country’s strengths and drive economic growth.

The UK Government is determined to work together with the Welsh Government and local partners to improve the experience of passengers and commuters throughout Wales.

Wales is open for business and strong transport links are vital for continued prosperity.
