Will the Cabinet Secretary provide an update on the progress made to deliver an increase in services to four trains an hour on the Treherbert line?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales
Transport for Wales have made significant progress upgrading the Core Valley Lines following our over £1bn investment. This has enabled brand-new electric trains to run on the network for the first time ever as part of our £800m investment in new rolling stock. Transport for Wales remain on course to increase service frequency on the Core Valley Lines following the roll-out of Stadler Class 398 tram-trains from next year.
