North Wales Coast Line: Electrification
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department plans to electrify the North Wales main line.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
Together with industry partners, we have identified a number of improvements on the North Wales Main Line which will deliver more immediate passenger benefits, including increasing the frequency of services in 2026, which will serve to strengthen the business case for future electrification. Following the Spending Review, we are funding these improvement works as part of the wider £445 million investment to enhance rail infrastructure across Wales — unlocking economic potential, improving connectivity, and supporting communities.
