The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when she will announce the locations of the five new railway stations to be built in south east Wales.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

Based on the work of the South East Wales Transport Commission and subsequent development activity, new stations are proposed at Newport Road (Cardiff), Newport West, Somerton, Llanwern, and Magor & Undy.

The funding announced in the Spending Review will support the further development of options and confirm the exact locations for the stations. The programme for this will be confirmed in due course by the two governments, supported by our industry partners.
