Question
Will the Cabinet Secretary provide an update as to when the new rolling stock will be running on the Cambrian line?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Transport and North Wales
Brand new CAF Class 197 trains will be introduced for passenger service on the Cambrian line from September this year following the completion of staff training and vehicle testing on the route. This is part of our £800m investment to upgrade and modernise TfW’s fleet, which is delivering better trains and services for passengers across Wales.
