Well, I think the user group, the passenger group are absolutely right that we need to invest in rail infrastructure in the north-east of Wales. Of course, historically, the UK Government, who’s responsible for it, have shown scant regard for the needs of the region in terms of investment in rail infrastructure. That can be said for the rest of Wales as well. What we have done is to ensure that, so that those stations are in a position to attract funding, we have developed business cases, and we continue to develop them to a phase where they are ready for UK Government investment, should it be available. As I said, we are constantly arguing for a greater share of that resource.

Deeside industrial park, Northern Gateway, is a project that would enable people—a larger number of people—to use park-and-ride facilities. We’re incredibly keen that that part of Deeside can be utilised, not just for road and rail transport, but also for active travel. For that reason, the Welsh Government has granted Flintshire council funding to look at how to improve active travel in the area. We’re working with all stakeholders across the north of Wales, and indeed across the border, to ensure that we have better services that are more reliable and more frequent. And, indeed, as a result of the engagement that I’ve had with the user group, we’ve actually been able to ensure that Network Rail carries out the maintenance that’s required on the Wrexham-Bidston line so that, in all hope, next winter we will not see the same sorts of delays—unacceptable delays and cancellations—to services that so many people in north Wales and across the border rely on.
