Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 1:38 pm on 6 June 2018.
Cabinet Secretary, as the economy grows, obviously one aspect within that is transport. I know that there's a south Wales metro being proposed by Mark Barry, which highlights the future role of the transportation system within the south Wales area and the Swansea bay city region in particular, but part of that proposal is possibly the removal off the main line of Neath station, which is in my county borough. Can you give a categorical denial now that the Welsh Government will not support any proposal for a metro system within that area that will either close or take off Neath station from the main line, to ensure that the people in that area can commute across the region totally freely and knowing that their station will still be there?
