Will the First Minister clarify which specific document he was referring to when he said that the Ebbw Vale line was not included in the original specification for rail electrification, in response to a question from Leanne Wood during First Minister’s questions on 19 March 2018?
In November 2015 the Welsh Government published “Rolling Out our Metro” and established a dedicated web site at:
http://gov.wales/topics/transport/public/metro/?lang=en
The document and web material clearly describe the extent of the next phase of Metro (phase 2) and the modes and technologies which can be expected across Metro as part of phase 2.
This web site was quoted from in the June 2017 Economy, Infrastructure and Skills committee report “On the Right Track? The Rail Franchise and South Wales Metro”
