Wales Station Improvement Programme (Phase 2)

Project description

This operation implemented major improvements over five key stations in the West Wales and the Valleys area – Pontypridd, Ystrad Mynach, Aberystwyth, Port Talbot, and Rhyl. The operation resulted in more attractive, safer, accessible stations, with better connectivity with other transport modes, leading to increased patronage of the railway, for commuting and other journeys.

Delivery model

The operation was managed by the Public Transport Division with the Economy Science and Transport Department of the Welsh Government through contract with Network Rail who themselves will procure contractors to undertake construction of the improvements.

Geographical coverage

The project will benefit Caerphilly and Rhondda Cynon Taf  within the South East Wales region and Neath Port Talbot, Denbighshire and Ceredigion more widely.

Specific targets

Number of intermodal facilities improved: 5
