Transport for Wales have been in regular contact with First Group, the parent company of Great Western Railway and South Western Railway who both have trains manufactured by Vivarail such as the Class 230 in their fleets. Transport for Wales have established a close working relationship with First Group on this matter which will be beneficial for both parties as Transport for Wales bring the Class 230s into use on the Wrexham to Bidston line later this year.
