What plans does the Welsh Government have to build a railway station at St Athan?
Ateb
Atebwyd gan Deputy Minister for Transport (Mark Hooper)
I recognise the opportunity and benefits a new station at St Athan would deliver both locally and regionally. Transport for Wales included a new station at St Athan in their rail vision document “Today, Tomorrow, Together” noting that it would support wider plans for housing and businesses in the area including the redevelopment of the Aberthaw site.
However, rail infrastructure and funding for enhancements such as a new station at St Athan is a reserved responsibility of the UK Government. We continue to seek the full devolution of rail infrastructure and a fair rail funding settlement for Wales, which would provide greater control over decisions on rail investment, including the delivery of new stations.
