Question
What plans does the Welsh Government have to build a railway station in Nelson, Caerphilly?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Transport (Mark Hooper)
There are no current plans to build a new railway station in Nelson. The Welsh Government is committed to improving connectivity and access to public transport across Wales, particularly for communities with limited transport options. Re-opening railway lines for passenger services and building new stations would require significant funding, which is why we need a fair funding settlement for rail from the UK Government.
