MPs to examine Wales railway infrastructure

The inquiry will look into how levels of funding for Welsh railway projects are decided, infrastructure projects and needs identified and how the UK and Welsh Governments currently work with one another on managing Wales rail infrastructure. It will also examine whether Wales has attracted enough rail infrastructure investment since privatisation began in 1994, as well as the opportunities for Wales of the recently launched Union Connectivity Review.
