The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what is the total allocated budget for each of the five new railway stations to be built in south east Wales.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The government’s recent Spending Review and Infrastructure Strategy has recognised Wales’ long-term infrastructure needs and will deliver at least £445 million of rail enhancements to realise them. The exact proportion of funding required to support individual enhancement schemes will be confirmed through further development activity currently underway by industry partners.
