What measures is the Welsh Government taking to address overcrowding on Transport for Wales trains?
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 11/10/2023
Transport for Wales (TfW) are working hard to increase the capacity provided on services across Wales. Our investment of £800m in brand new trains will deliver a significant increase in capacity, improve passenger comfort and increase the reliability of services. When all our brand-new fleet is in service TfW will have 485 carriages available in total, representing an 80% increase in the number of carriages inherited from the Arriva Trains Wales franchise in 2018.
