Part of 2. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure – in the Senedd at 2:23 pm on 1 March 2017.
Yes, I would agree with the Member. That is absolutely essential. We wish to see a strong relationship developed between those who are responsible for the tracks and those who are responsible for the vehicles that run along them. I think what the Secretary of State for Transport recently announced about bringing together in some form Network Rail and rail operators is very interesting. Of course, what we’re proposing in Wales, to some extent, is similar, but instead of privatising the entire system, we will actually be bringing it closer to public ownership.
