flag UK allocates £445M for Welsh rail upgrades, excluding West Wales, sparking criticism over unequal investment.

flag The UK government has allocated £445 million for rail improvements in Wales, with most funding going to the Cardiff-Newport corridor and north Wales, leaving West Wales without new projects. flag Despite a broader £14 billion rail investment plan, Welsh Liberal Democrat politician Sandra Jervis says the figure represents uncommitted future projects, not guaranteed funding, and criticizes the Welsh government for misleading the public. flag She argues underinvestment in West Wales has harmed economic growth and depopulation efforts, calling for devolved rail powers to ensure fair regional development.
