 | South Wales Metro: Tramforward Press Release 11 October 2018 | TramForward is cautiously pleased to note the first 5 years of plans for the Metro in the announcements about the new Welsh rail franchise to commence on October 14th 2018. The planned procurement of new rolling stock, infrastructure enhancements, and increases in services are all very welcome items. TramForward is, however, very well aware that the announced improvements on existing rail lines are only the beginning of the more extensive multi-modal Metro network as identified on the Welsh Government website. TramForward is therefore intent on ensuring that the Welsh Government instructs Transport for Wales to pursue development work on the other Metro routes, so that construction work on them can follow on from the upgrade of the existing Valleys Lines. | Cardiff Metro |
