Answered by Cabinet Secretary for the Economy, Transport and North Wales | Answered on 19/07/2024
I have already had a positive meeting with the new Secretary of State for Transport and I will be meeting with the new Rail Minister very soon. I have already set out that my priorities for rail reform alongside our longstanding call for the full devolution of rail infrastructure and services along with a fair funding settlement. I am looking forward to working in close partnership with the UK Government to deliver genuine rail reform that benefits passengers in Wales.
