Thank you, Cabinet Secretary. The provision of a regular service between Ebbw Vale and Newport would be a key part of linking Newport with the Gwent valleys. Over the last 10 years, there have been campaigns supported by local AMs and the ‘South Wales Argus’ to ensure that this line would stop in Newport. It would be a crucial boost to the local economy and the public transport network, both in Newport and the Valleys communities on the route. Along with my constituents and my colleague John Griffiths, Assembly Member, I would be keen to see this happen as quickly as possible. Can the Cabinet Secretary confirm that a regular Newport-to-Ebbw Vale service remains a priority for the south Wales metro and the new rail franchise?
